Two short-term lava fountaining episodes (so-called paroxysm) occurred from the cinder cone during the last night. The PVMBG surveillance cameras observed two intense glow events accompanied by emissions of incandescent, fluid lava at 1-hour time range intervals lasting 20 and 40 seconds, at 22:56 and 00:03 local time.
Later on, in the early morning, three powerful vulcanian-sized eruptions took place from the cone, spewing vertical grey-to-black dense ash clouds to approx. 500-700 meters elevation.
