The explosive eruption at the volcano continues.

A heavy black billowing ash column took place from the Aira caldera at about 14:00 local time yesterday.
The vigorous continuing ash bursting, lasting nearly more than half an hour, was spewing fine, dense ash emissions. The plume rose to estimated 3,4 km height.

Magma is being stored in magma chamber within the Aira caldera, where continues to accumulate in the long-term period.

The warning bulletin states that ballistic impacts of volcanic bombs and pyroclastic flows could affect an area of about 2 km distance from the main crater.
