The explosive eruption at the volcano continues.
A vigorous vulcanian-sized eruption generated a copious ash plume rising to an altitude of 11,200 ft (3,400 m) that propagated to the south-southeast.
The warning bulletin states that ballistic impacts of volcanic bombs and pyroclastic flows could affect an area of about 2 km distance from the main crater.
