An impressive video of a volcanic eruption at night is being shared on social media as if it showed the recent activity of the Anak Krakatoa volcano, located in Indonesia. The recording shows a volcanic eruption with large amounts of material being ejected and lightning illuminating the darkness.
The video has been circulating on social media being presented as a recent recording of the Anak Krakatoa volcano's activity. However, the question arises as to whether this recording was actually filmed in September 2026, as claimed in the posts sharing it.
The SIC Verifica program is analyzing this situation to determine the authenticity of the claims accompanying the video. The fact-check aims to clarify whether the audiovisual material actually corresponds to a recent eruption of Anak Krakatoa or whether it is an older recording or from another volcano.
