The Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Buenos Aires detected new ash emissions from the volcano over the past three days.
According to the VAAC and the latest satellite data from 23 June, dense grey ash plumes rose to an altitude of between 21,000 ft-23,000 ft (6,400 m-7,000 m) and drifted NE, NW and W.
The Instituto Geofísico del Perú (IGP) reported that a seismic activity has been increasing since mid-May.
This followed a fumarolic activity, accompanied by near-constant emissions of steam-laden plumes which reached approx. 500 meters above the crater.
Therefore, the alert level for the volcano was raised to Level 3.
