Following an increase in seismicity, mainly due to the number of deep volcanic earthquakes associated with rock fracturing caused by the pressure of magmatic fluids since August 10, and shallow volcanic earthquakes since August 24, and changes in height and consistency of emissions, the VSI raised the alert level of the Agung on the island of Bali from 1 to 2 / waspada - alert, from 14.09.2017 / 2pm local time.
