Ongoing heavy rainfall in the East Java region caused strong lahars from Semeru.
Mud flows have been triggered by a remobilization of ash and dome-block deposits resulting in dangerous clay-sized particles mixed with water-saturated debris flows, which affected a broad eastern and southeastern area of the volcano. People from threatened villages have been evacuated to leave their homes. Powerful lahars caused a local bridge, connecting Candipuro and Pasrujambe districts in Kloposawit village, to destroy completely.
