It has attracted the attention of the whole world. Videos of this incident are becoming increasingly viral on social media. Therefore, efforts are being made to reach complete information about this incident. Meanwhile, a speedboat that had gone to report the eruption of this active volcano has gone missing in the Sunda Strait. There were a total of 8 people on this boat, which included 5 journalists. There were 5 journalists from local and international news agencies of Indonesia on the boat. He was accompanied by 2 crew members and 1 local guide, a total of 8 people.
On the afternoon of September 7, 2026, they all set out by boat off the coast of Karita in Banten province. But after evening he had no contact with the head office or the boat owner. This caused a stir. The investigating agencies are ready to find out what happened. Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency, local police, army and fishermen are searching for them with the help of thermal drones and high-speed boats. However, due to the ash coming out of the volcano, high waves in the sea and low visibility, there are major obstacles in the search.
At around 6 pm on Monday evening, a journalist had messaged his relatives and informed them that he had reached near the volcano. At that time he was about 18.5 kilometers away from the coast. After this their contact was lost. Meanwhile, due to this incident, ash has spread in many cities including Jakarta and many flights have had to be cancelled. What's more, a ban has been imposed on going within 3 km of the volcano.
