The explosion from Dukono volcano yesterday (image: PVMBG)
The eruptive activity of the volcano resumes.
At about 08:54 local time yesterday, a vigorous explosion took place from the crater vent. A grey ash column released tephra material to an altitude of 900 meters above the crater towards the northwest.
The PVMBG volcano observatory reported a seismic signal with a maximum amplitude of 22 mm and a duration of 52.13 seconds.
In order to mitigate risk, people are advised to avoid the area within a radius of 2 km from the crater.
