At 05:11 PM local time, the explosion took place from the caldera vent and produced grey ash emissions. The ash column rose about 500 meters above the edifice and spread to the west of the volcano. The local volcano observatory reported a seismic signal with a maximum amplitude of 23 mm and a duration of 46 seconds.The eruption came 7 years after the calm period, as the last eruption was registered in early April 2019.View of Bromo in Indonesia erupting today.I hope to goodness there weren't any hikers up there because these eruptions are unpredictable. https://t.co/uYWzXD3gXA— Volcaholic(@volcaholic1) November 5, 2026
