Read more... According to the Semeru volcano observatory of Indonesia's volcano monitoring agency (PVMBG), this activity has now entered the stage of producing pyroclastic flows, recorded since 28 November. Pyroclastic flows are hot avalanches of fragmented hot material, both large and small (ash) particles, extremely mobile as they mix with volcanic gasses and ambient air to become gravity-driven currents reaching high velocities. These also called "block-and-ash flows" are likely caused by gravitational collapse of the lava dome in the inner summit crater as well as the lava flow on the steep slope of the volcano. They have been traveling over the southeastern slopes and formed huge secondary ash clouds (so-called phoenix) clouds, as can be seen in the images.

Read more... The lava flows on the south-southeast flank remain active and they have increased in length. The length of the lava flows is unknown and was not reported, but from available imagery (16 November) and compared to the last update image (4 July) seem to be longer. Incandescent material is being ejected above Seloko Jongring crater and caused avalanches of material.
