The explosive eruption of the volcano continues.
At 06:05 local time this morning, a vulcanian-type explosion occurred from the volcano’s cinder cone, producing an ash plume propagating towards the northeast. Ash emissions rose about 1,6 km above the cinder cone within the main caldera.
The local volcano observatory reported a seismic signal with a maximum amplitude of 28 mm and a duration of 65 seconds
In the Level III (SIAGA), people are advised to avoid the area within a radius of 4 km and 5 km from the crater.
The warning bulletin states that lahars (mud flows) could occur if heavy rainfalls remobilise fresh ash deposits and may pose threaten to inhabited areas.
