The effusive-explosive eruption of the volcano continues.
INSIVUMEH reported that the activity at the volcano has been increasing during the past few days characterized by explosive eruptions at high levels.
Strong eruptive episode is now in progress at the volcano s Mackenney summit crater that generated moderate-to-stronger explosions than the average size of explosions at the volcano at regular intervals of 3 to 5 per hour. Blocks were ejected as far as 200 m-300 m away from the crater.

Effusive-explosive eruption of the volcano has been increasing during the past days confirmed by the INSIVUMEH volcano observatory.
A
new effusive eruption has been producing
two lava flows that started to descend slowly from a vents on the northern flanks, currently about 50 m and 200 m long. New vents are eruptive fissures. The
lava flow on the southwestern slope remains active, currently about 550 m long.
A
moderate-to-strong eruptive episode of strombolian explosions is now in progress at the volcano s Mackenney summit crater characterized by higher-than-usual dense ash plumes that rose to estimated 3 km altitude as can be seen in the video recorded below.
