        "summary": "The volcanic activity level of Mount Anak Krakatau has been downgraded to Level II (Alert) following a period of continuous eruptions. While the decrease in activity is supported by deflation data, authorities have maintained a two-kilometre safety radius and warned of potential impacts on air transportation.",
        "content": "<p>TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The level of activity at Mount Anak Krakatau has\nbeen downgraded to Level II (Alert) starting from today, Monday,\nSeptember 21, 2026, at 18:30 WIB (Western Indonesia Time). On July 2,\nthe volcanic mountain in the Sunda Strait was raised to Level III\n(Standby), and it has continued to erupt, spewing ash across West Java\nand West Sumatra.<\/p>\n<p>According to Special Report Number: 1604.Lap\/GL.03\/BGL\/2026 released\nby the Head of the Geological Agency Lana Saria, Mount Anak Krakatau\nexperienced 224 eruptions throughout the Standby status until September\n3. From September 4 at 23:07 WIB to September 6, 2026, at 00:04 WIB,\ncontinuous eruptions occurred for 25 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Satellite imagery showed continuous eruptions produced lava flows\nmoving northwest, west, and southwest from the eruption center. Volcanic\nash reached Greater Jakarta, forcing air transportation authorities to\nclose several airports, including Soekarno-Hatta International Airport,\nto ensure flight safety.<\/p>\n<p>Lana explained that despite still emitting seven strombolian\neruptions, the activity of Mount Anak Krakatau tends to decrease after\nthe cessation of continuous eruptions until September 20 at 00:00 WIB.\n\u201cIn addition, the symptom of decreasing volcanic activity is supported\nby deformation data showing deflation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Seismic records of Mount Anak Krakatau on September 20, 2026, showed\none low-frequency earthquake. The continuous tremor amplitude also\naveraged only 2 mm.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Lana reminded that the community around Mount Anak\nKrakatau, as well as visitors or tourists, are still not allowed to\nenter and carry out activities within the volcano\u2019s area. The safe\nradius is two kilometers from the center of Mount Anak Krakatau\u2019s\nactivity. This is a one-kilometer decrease from the standby status.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe level of Mount Anak Krakatau\u2019s volcanic activity will be\nperiodically re-evaluated, or if there are significant changes in\nactivity,\u201d Lana added.<\/p>\n<p>Read: End of Search for Missing Journalists in Sunda Strait: What to\nKnow<\/p>\n<p>Click here to get the latest news updates from Tempo on Google\nNews<\/p>",
