        "content": "<p>Mount Ile Lewotolok in East Nusa Tenggara has again turned red due to\nlava flows extending 1.2 kilometres from the crater rim. Over a 24-hour\nperiod, the volcano was recorded erupting 158 times.<\/p>\n<p>Officer at the Mount Ile Lewotolok Observation Post, Yeremias\nKristianto Pugel, said the eruptions occurred on Tuesday (17\/8\/2026)\nfrom 00.00 to 24.00 Wita. The volcano, which stands 1,413 metres above\nsea level, produced eruptions with heights of 100 to 500 metres.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt erupted 158 times, with amplitudes of 11.1 to 40 millimetres and\ndurations of 39 to 119 seconds. The eruptions were accompanied by\nejection of incandescent material and weak to moderate rumbling or\nbooming sounds. Lava flows were observed moving towards the southern\nsector, 1,200 metres from the crater rim,\u201d Yeremias said in a statement\nreceived by detikBali on Wednesday (19\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the eruptions, 13 gas emissions were recorded, along\nwith 36 non-harmonic tremors, 2 hybrid events, and 3 shallow volcanic\nearthquakes. Continuous tremor was also recorded with amplitudes of 16.6\nto 33.2 millimetres.<\/p>\n<p>Yeremias urged communities around Mount Ile Lewotolok, including\nvisitors, climbers, and tourists, not to enter or conduct activities\nwithin a 2-kilometre radius of the volcano\u2019s activity centre.<\/p>\n<p>The public was also asked to be aware of the threat of lava\navalanches and pyroclastic flows in the southern and southeastern\nsectors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe aware of the threat of lava avalanche landslides towards the\nsouthern, southeastern, and northeastern sectors of Mount Ile\nLewotolok,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the public was advised to wear protective masks covering\nthe mouth and nose, as well as other equipment to protect the eyes and\nskin from respiratory disturbances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCover clean water storage containers to avoid exposure to volcanic\nash,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>",
