The explosive eruption of the volcano continues.
Vulcanian-sized explosions continue to generate dense ash columns in combination with incandescent material from the crater vent. An ash plume rose to estimated 15,000 ft (4,600 m) altitude and extended northward on 31 March.
The PVMBG volcano observatory reported a seismic signal with a maximum amplitude of 30.2 mm and a duration of 45 seconds early tonight.
In order to mitigate the current risk, people are advised to avoid the area within a 4.5 km radius of the Verbeek Crater.
The alert level for the volcano remains at Level III (Siaga) since 11 January.
