There is no active monitoring on this volcano and the nature of the explosions is unknown, in particular whether they involved fresh magma or were only driven by overheated steam inside the conduits (phreatic activity).
Zhupanovsky has been having intermittent explosions since 2013, often at long intervals of several months. In July 2015, a part of its southern flank of its active cone Priemysh collapsed.
