Ash plumes rose up to 1 km and loud shock waves accompanied many of them. Two new lava flows, 800 m long, have started to head towards the Santa Teresa (west flank) and Trinidad (south flank) drainages.
This would be the 13th paroxysmal episode during 2015, and if activity increases further, dangerous pyroclastic flows are likely to occur in the coming hours / days. In particular, river beds and valleys at the feet of the mountain should be avoided at all times, as these are high-risk areas.
