Klyuchevskoy (Kamchatka): (6 Jul) Strombolian activity continues from the summit crater.
Glowing scoria bombs and lapilli are being ejected to several dozens of meters above the vent, as visible in the attached image.
The ongoing bright thermal anomaly was detected in the latest satellite image from the ESA’s Sentinel-2 satellite on 23 June. A visible glow may suggest a rise of fresh magma inside the volcano’s conduits.

Mayon (Luzon Island, Philippines): Volcanic Ash Advisory Center Tokyo (VAAC) issued the following report: ERUPTION AT 20230706/2000Z VA CLD UNKNOWN REPORTED OBS VA DTG:06/2000Z

Popocatépetl (Central Mexico): Explosive activity continues. Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Washington warned about a volcanic ash plume that rose up to estimated 22000 ft (6700 m) altitude or flight level 220 .
The full report is as follows: VA EMS OBSD to 22000 ft (6700 m)

Fuego (Guatemala): Mild explosive activity continues from the volcano. The Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Washington reported intermittent emissions of volcanic ash plumes.
The full report is as follows: sporadic emissions of volcanic ash

San Cristobal (Nicaragua): (6 Jul) The volcano showed very dramatic activity yesterday morning.

Piton de la Fournaise (La Réunion): The effusive eruption at the volcano continues.
A new sizeable cinder cone, located southeast of the Fouqué at altitude 1700 meters, has been forming around the fissure vent by the continuous piling of fresh and plastic lava fragments into several meters high deposits. The SE eruptive fissure activity has reduced into the one main vent from where spattering and lava flows are being erupted and keeps lava flow arms in the upper parts active.
