Incandescence was occasionally visible from the summit crater in web camera images overnight.
Analysis of satellite imagery indicate that a partial collapse of the summit cone sometime around 23:30 UTC on November 24th produced a pyroclastic flow that extended up to 3 km from the summit down the northwest flank of the volcano.
Lava flows on the northwest flank remain active, currently about several hundred m long.
No ash plumes have been detected.
