The lava flow in Seca western direction ceased and is now no longer active while the second lava flow in Ceniza direction on the SW flank remains active, currently about 300 m long but it is expected to reduce its length in the coming hours.
Moderate strombolian-to-vulcanian-type explosions continue to erupt at regular intervals of 12 to 14 per hour generating a plumes of ash that rose to estimated 15,000 ft (4,800 m) altitude. Volcanic ash is dispersed towards the N, E and NE about 50 km of the volcano.
