After three days as the original main lava outlet has become inactive, it has been reactivated at about 09:48 local time today.
A vigorous spattering within the cinder cone caused the cauldron of boiling lava to overflow the rim and started to revive the original lava output at the south of the volcano.

Meanwhile, the western gap area, through which the lava has continued to leak into the flow field, appears to rejoin itself by the continuous piling of fresh and plastic lava clots. Despite this, the lava continues to effuse through the western channel but at a significantly decreased discharge rate.
Therefore, two lava flow branches continue to be active and are merge into one main outlet several dozens of meters to the south of the volcano.
