April 29, 2020, all time is UTC

SHEVELUCH VOLCANO (CAVW #300270)
56.64 N, 161.32 E; Elevation 10768 ft (3283 m), the dome elevation ~8200 ft (2500 m)
Aviation Colour Code is ORANGE

A growth of the lava dome continues, a strong fumarolic activity sometimes with some amount of ash and an incandescence of the dome blocks and hot avalanches accompanies this process. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano.

KLYUCHEVSKOY VOLCANO (CAVW #300260)
56.06 N, 160.64 E; Elevation 15580 ft (4750 m)
Aviation Colour Code is ORANGE

A moderate explosive-effusive eruption of the volcano continues. The Strombolian and sometimes Vulcanian types of volcanic activity is observing. The lava flow continues to move on the southeastern flank of the volcano (into the Apakhonchich chute), phreatic bursts and collapse of loose slag material accompany this process. According to satellite data, a gas-steam plume containing some amount of ash extended for 33 km to the west of the volcano.

EBEKO VOLCANO (CAVW #290380)
50.69 N, 156.01 E; Elevation 3792 ft (1156 m)
Aviation Colour Code is ORANGE

A moderate activity of the volcano continues. According to visual data by volcanologists from Severo-Kurilsk, an ash plume up to 2 km a.s.l., and an ashfall were observed. Satellite data by KVERT showed an ash cloud drifting about 180 km to the south-east from the volcano.
