Aviation Color Code is ORANGE
A growth of the lava dome continues (a viscous lava flow reveal in the northern its part), strong fumarole activity, ash explosions, hot avalanches and an incandescence of the dome blocks and hot avalanches accompany this process. According to KVERT satellite data, ash clouds, after explosions on 14 June, continued to drifting more than 2000 km to the south-east from the volcano. A thermal anomaly was detected over the volcano.
