The explosive-extrusive eruption of the volcano continues.
The active lava dome within the Jonggring Saloko crater continues to grow with viscous fresh magma rising into it, making the dome vividly glowing. Minor vulcanian-type eruptions continue to take place from the lava dome at roughly regular intervals of every 30 minutes, generating grey ash plumes. Emissions of ash rose to about 4,1 km-4,6 km altitude and drifted north-northeast over the past few days.
The PVMBG volcano observatory reported a seismic signal with a maximum amplitude of 23 mm and a duration of 120 seconds this morning.
The volcano remains at Level 3 (Siaga).
People are advised to stay away area from the area of 5 km around the summit and especially avoid the southeastern sector around Besuk Kobokan in 13 km from the peak, in particular keep at least 500 m distance from the numerous riverbeds that intersect the relatively flat terrain of the volcano’s lower slopes.
