Mount Anak Krakatau Eruption Brings Light Ashfall to Banten Coast
Light volcanic ashfall from the eruption of Mount Anak Krakatau began hitting the coastal areas of Banten.
Light volcanic ash began falling on the Banten coast following an eruption at Mount Anak Krakatau, according to an observation post in Pasauran, Serang Regency. Deni Mardiono, the head of the post, stated that the wind was likely blowing the ash from the east due to its direction. The ashfall was very light at present, but conditions on the ground showed intense volcanic activity in the Sunda Strait waters, with a fiery red light and loud booms.
The eruption's intensity remains high, but Deni confirmed it hasn't increased compared to previous levels. Alert Level III is in effect, prohibiting access within a three-kilometer radius of the crater for residents and tourists.
