A couple of vulcanian-sized explosions appeared at the volcano within a seven hours time-span yesterday.
Dense white-to-grey, grey ash plumes rose about 457-657 meters above the crater and drifted to the southwest of the volcano.
The seismic network reported seismic signals with maximum amplitudes of 38 and 46 mm and a duration of 53 and 41 seconds.
