The explosive eruption at the volcano continues.

A couple of explosions have taken place since the activity started on 7 January. White-to-grey dense ash plumes erupted from the Verbeek crater sending ash emissions to estimated 10,000 ft (3,000 m) altitude towards the northeast and southeast direction on 7 January.

The PVMBG volcano observatory reported a seismic signal with a maximum amplitude of 4 mm and a duration of 81 seconds this morning at 09:12 AM local time.
