Gas emissions rose from Bocca Nuova Crater, NE Crater, and Voragine. Modest explosive activity at two vents at SE Crater ejected lava fragments that fell back into the crater and onto the flanks of the cone.
The activity generated diffuse ash emissions that quickly dispersed around the summit area. A fissure on the S flank of Bocca Nuova, which last effused lava during February-March, was again active. Late on 9 August lava effused from a fissure approximately 33 m long and trending N-S located between Bocca Nuova and SE Crater, at around 3,000-3,100 m elevation.

It is emerging from the area between Bocca Nuova and the South-East crater and slowly moving downslope at an altitude of approx. 3,000-3,100 m.
The activity began Saturday (9 Aug) morning and has been very modest in effusion rate; no significant seismic activity or volcanic tremor has been detected accompanying it, but it might slowly increase if it is going to evolve similar as the sub-terminal effusive eruption earlier this year in February-March, which lasted several weeks.
