The explosive eruption at the volcano continues.
Strombolian and occasional larger vulcanian-type explosions continue to take place from the summit crater within the main caldera. The PVMBG surveillance cameras observed two eruptions over the past two days. Grey ash plumes rose approx. 700-800 meters above the summit and drifted towards the west and northwest of the volcano.
The local volcano observatory reported seismic signals with maximum amplitudes of 30.7 mm and a duration of 120 seconds.
From the latest satellite image acquired on 6 August, the lava flow on the eastern flank seems to be inactive or at least decreased its advance over the past few months.
The warning bulletin states that ballistic impacts of volcanic bombs and pyroclastic flows and lahars could affect an area of about 2 km distance from the main crater.
