The strong eruptive vulcanian episode continues at the volcano. The volcano’s tendency to produce such events in series at roughly regular intervals is now in progress during the past few days.

An increasingly spectacular ash plume rose to estimated 7,5 km altitude and drifted northwest this morning.
89 emissions of water vapor and gases were detected.

The seismic network recorded 110 minutes of low-to-medium internal tremor.
