Colima Volcano showed an increase in seismic activity during the last days and several explosions occurred during the past days. According to the Washington VAAC, an explosion on 20 April produced an ash plume to a height of ~6.1 km (~20,000 ft) a.s.l. The activity sparked forest fires on the southeastern slopes of the volcano, but no danger was posed to neighbouring communities.
