The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) reported that a new effusive eruption commenced at the volcano yesterday.

At about 06:08 local time, a new lava started to ooze out from the North Crater area following an intense spattering over the past few days. The lava had been travelling beyond the crater further onto the upper Sciara del Fuoco.
Ordinary strombolian explosions had continued from both North and Central-South crater areas.

The volcanic tremor reached its peak and preceded the lava flow formation, which in turn, returned back to medium values.

Meanwhile, the lava flow from the North Crater area ceased some time yesterday and is now no longer active while cooling.
