Explosion from Sinabung volcano yesterday (image: PVMBG)
The explosive eruption of the volcano continues. It is characterized by occasional vulcanian-type explosions as occurred yesterday.
The volcano produced a moderate dense ash plume, which reached approx. 12,000 ft (3,600 m) altitude and drifted E-SE as the Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi (PVMBG) noted.
The seismic network detected about 140 volcano-tectonic earthquakes.
The warning bulletin states that ballistic impacts of volcanic bombs and pyroclastic flows could affect an area of about 3 km distance from the main crater and 5 km on the SE flank and 4 km on the NE flank.
