The exlplosive eruption of the volcano continues.
Near-frequent ash emissions continue at the summit vent that reached 14,000 ft (4,300 m) altitude and extended to the E-SE of the volcano as can be seen in the attached video below.
The warning bulletin states that ballistic impacts of volcanic bombs could affect an area of about 2 km distance from the main crater.
