Vigorous explosion from Dukono produced dense ash emissions this morning (image: PVMBG)
A spectacular eruption occurred from the volcano’s crater this morning.
At about 06:15 local time, vulcanian-style explosion generated a billowing grey ash-abundant column spewing ash emissions to an estimated 3 km altitude. The ash plume dissipated to the southwest of the volcano.
In order to mitigate risk, people are advised to avoid the area within a radius of 2 km from the crater.
