Vulcanian activity at the volcano continues.
The explosive eruption generated a small pumice-and-ash flow (gravity-driven mass flow caused by partially eruption column collapse) on 13 February that traveled over the slope reaching length of 1.8 km.

Near-frequent explosions continue with ash plumes rising to estimated altitude of 4-4.3 km.
