Aviation Colour Code is ORANGE

A growth of the lava dome continues, a strong fumarolic activity, an incandescence of the lava dome, explosions, and hot avalanches accompanies this process. Satellite data by KVERT showed an ash plume extended about 20 km to the north-east from the volcano, and a thermal anomaly over the volcano.
