The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and Volcanic Ash Advisory Center Tokyo (VAAC) reported about dense dark ash plumes which reached approx. 7,000 ft (2,100 m) altitude and were dispersed about 4 km to south-southwest of the volcano.
Explosions generated lava bombs and blocks that were ejected about 700 away from the crater.
The current activity follows near-constat glow in the Ontake crater.
The warning bulletin states that ballistic impacts of volcanic bombs could affect an area of about 1 km distance from the main crater.
