The effusive-explosive eruption of the volcano persists.
The lava from the cinder cone continues to feed the flow on the southern flank, currently about 2000 m long. The strong thermal anomaly at the volcano’s cinder cone and southern slope is being detected by the Sentinel-2 satellite image acquired yesterday.
Ocassional strombolian and larger vulcanian-type explosions continue to take place from the crater within the main caldera.
The warning bulletin states that ballistic impacts of volcanic bombs and pyroclastic flows and lahars could affect the area of Lamawolo, Lamatokan and Jontonaarea village of about 2 km distance from the main crater. In addition, people are advised to avoid the south and southeastern sector of the volcano within the radius of 4 km.
