At 7.41 am local time, an avalanche of brown ash could be seen originating from a point on the lower east flank of the New SE crater and descending several 100 meters towards the Valle del Bove.
While it looks as if a new vent opened, according to INGV Catania, it was a small landslide from the eastern flank of the SE crater and only involved cold material, without involving a new vent (which would have shown as hot thermal signals).
