The explosive eruption at the volcano continues.
A couple of intense vulcanian-sized eruptions took place from the cinder cone in the early morning today.
Surveillance cameras of the PVMBG volcano institute observed at 04:12 local time a strong glow illuminating a broad part of the edifice. This might be a result of a short-term, but strong eruptive episode (likely to be classified as paroxysm) generating hot, juvenile and plastic ejecta landing onto various flanks of the volcano, but most often on the south slopes.
Later on, at about 07:43 local time, an intense explosion generated a perpendicularly rising grey-to-black ash-abundant column to estimated 2,2 km height drifting northeast.
The seismic network reported seismic signals with maximum amplitudes of 60 and 36,5 mm and a duration of 145 and 54 seconds.
