The effusive-explosive eruption of the volcano continues and has remained essentially unchanged.
Near-constant vulcanian explosions continue to take place from the summit crater that reached heights between 4,3 km and 4,9 km (14,000 ft-16,000 ft) height and drifted west over the past few days.
Late night yesterday, a relatively powerful eruption occurred from the summit, showering the mid-to-upper eastern and southern flank with bright lava bombs.
The viscous lava flow on the northeastern flank remains active. Incandescent blocks of the lava continue to be observed on the southern flank, tumbling down about 700 meters distance from the summit.
Lahars (mud flows) could also occur if heavy rainfalls remobilise the fresh ash deposits.
