Zhupanovsky volcano (Kamchatka): eruption confirmed, continuing ash emissions

The eruption at the volcano that was initially reported by a pilot who observed a 6 km ash plume continues with smaller ash emissions.
While the initial report left some doubts about the eruption, confirmation was soon after provided by the presence of a SO2 plume, ash deposits visible on satellite imagery and photos taken on location.
The attached photo shows ongoing ash emissions the morning of 7 June following the main explosion. Two secondary flank vents producing steam plumes and dark streaks on the lower left flank of the volcano representing mud flows that were generated by lava-snow interaction are visible.
