The volcanic activity is characterized by strombolian explosions and degassing activity (puffing). The number of VLP events shows MEDIUM values (9.3 events/hour). Infrasonic activity is characterized by explosions od MEDIUM pressure and puffing of HIGH amplitude. Seismic tremor values are MEDIUM. MODIS/VIIRS images showed NO thermal anomalies. SO2 flux is LOW (51 t/d), and CO2 flux value is MEDIUM (477 t/d). Rockfall activity is LOW with 1 event detected in the last 24h with LOW seismic energy associated. The volcanic activity index is MEDIUM.
