The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, Etnean Observatory (INGV) reported that a new lava flow erupted from the North Crater area onto the mid Sciara del Fuoco flank.
Frequent glowing rockfalls from the lava flow front tumble down the slope and reach the coastline.
At the same time, intense spattering and strombolian explosions continue from the North and Central-South crater areas.
No significant change in other observed volcanic parameters (seismic, degassing, deformation) was observed.
