The volcano had a significant eruptive phase this afternoon. Starting at around 17:24 local time, a pyroclastic flow was observed that traveled a distance of approx. 4500 m, according to Indonesia's Civil Defense Agency BNPB.
The hot avalanche was likely caused by collapses of parts of the lava dome and/or upper parts of the lava flow on the steep southern slope of the volcano. Associated ash plumes rose to an altitude of 5500 m above sea level.
The volcanologists at the observatory registered a corresponding seismic signal with up to 22 mm amplitude that lasted for the considerable long period of 4287 seconds (approx. 1 hour 20 mins).
