A new lava flow started to descend from the north crater terrace in late afternoon yesterday.

The volcano observatory in Catania (INGV) reported that a strong and intense spattering from the northeastern vent preceded the event, triggering the lava flow onto the Sciara del Fuoco slope.

Over the past 24 hours, a volcano-tectonic tremor remains at average values.
