Sakurajima volcano (Japan): new vulcanian explosion
http://www.volcanodiscovery.com/sakurajima/news/56293/Sakurajima-volcano-Japan-new-vulcanian-explosion-this-morning.html
After several months of unusual calm, the volcano had a moderately strong vulcanian explosion from the Showa crater this morning. An ash plume rose to approx. 10,000 ft (3 km) altitude.
Until the end of Sep 2015, Sakurajima had been producing such explosions, of varying intensity, at rates of typically 3-5 or more per day. This activity ceased around 28 Sep 2015 and until now, the volcano had only manifested surface activity in the form of minor ash emissions, degassing, as well as, very rarely, minor explosions. Whether the volcano is back to its previously typical behavior with more frequent and stronger explosions, as it had been during most of the recent years, remains to be seen.
Sakurajima Volcano Erupts Spectacularly in Southern Japan (Video)

One of Japan's most active volcanos erupted spectacularly Friday evening with a fiery blast that sent lava rolling down its slope.
Japan's Meteorological Agency said Sakurajima on the southern island of Kyushu erupted at around 7 p.m. (1000 GMT).
Japanese television showed an orange burst out of the side of the volcano, near the summit, accompanied by lightning-like flashes. Dark gray smoke billowed into the sky.
The Meteorological Agency banned entry to the area, expanding an existing no-go zone around the crater to a 2-kilometer (1.2-mile) radius, according to public broadcaster NHK. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
Friday's eruption, while dramatic, was average compared to Sakurajima's past eruptions, Kyoto University volcanologist Kazuhiro Ishihara told NHK. The mountain's last major eruption was in September.
He said rocks spewing out of the crater were expected to fall within the 2-kilometer (1.2-mile) zone from the crater. Smoke and ash rose 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) into the air, about half the height measured in 2013 in one of the mountain's biggest explosions in recent years, he said.
"I don't think there will be any serious impact from the explosion," Ishihara said. "But of course we must keep monitoring the volcanic activity."
The Japanese archipelago sits atop the Pacific "Ring of Fire," an arc of volcanoes and fault lines in the Pacific Basin, and has more than 100 volcanoes. The 2014 eruption of Mount Ontake in central Japan killed 57 people.

Re: Colima's volcano recent activity
Latest news from Colim'as volcano was that, they discovered a grow of the lava dome so authorities, civil protection, and researchers had a meeting a couple of days ago to ... be prepared for whatever outcoming.

Re: Colima's volcano recent activity
webcamsdemexico had capture 2 "starlights" at Colima's volcano within a week.
And both, Popocateptl and Colima's volcano keep going on their nowadays -usual- activities, this was from two days ago.

http://www.sott.net/article/315349-Mexicos-Popocatepetl-volcano-erupts-again and so Colima's volcano, not so strong, although it had been ongoing ...
And I think I got an unidentifying object at Colima's volcano at webcamsdemexico.com site from today. Unless it would be the same fluff/dust in the lens, but I doubt it.
Add: both webcams are situated at different locations, one at Laguna de Carrizalillo, Col (first and third image)., and the other at the city of Colima (Panoramica ---the second image)

Re: Colima's Popocatepetl's volcanoes recent activity
Another explosion at night of the Popocatepetl's volcano.
What is the bright "thing" that seems to come from thin air to its right, at second 2 (more visible), a plasma discharge or? ... at the end looks like pouring out lava like substance ...

Re: Colima's and Popocatepetl's volcanoes activity
Another great explosion had yesterday the Popocatepetl
It appears again at the same place, perhaps is just some sort of a glitch reflection of the webcam...
Colima's, from earlier today.

Re: Colima's volcano recent activity
It got my attention one image of Colima's volcano at strangesounds FB, from 9 of April, according to the site, Colima's volcano release two fumaroles (Jets of hot gas and water vapor), well is just that is the first time I noticed that detail.

Re: Colima's volcano recent activity
Here is a short video of the ash cloud covering the population in Puebla:
Huge Ash Cloud Rolls Through Puebla Following Popocatepetl Eruption
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a1c_1461084614
Mexico’s Popocatepetl volcano erupted overnight on Monday, April 18, covering the nearby town of Puebla in ash and shutting down its airport . The volcano hurled hot rocks up to a mile from its crater and emitted an almost two mile high column of steam and ash. This video shows the massive ash cloud rolling in over the town.
Quakes disable devices to check volcanic activity on Mount Aso
http://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/AJ201604190065.html
Power outages caused by the seismic jolts that began April 14 mean that monitoring devices on the mountain are unable to transmit data, leaving experts with few means to gather information on a possible impending volcanic eruption.
This grim situation came to light April 18 during a meeting of a task force to deal with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions set up under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
The Japan Meteorological Agency, Kyoto University, the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED) and other institutions, operate observation facilities on the mountain in northeastern Kumamoto Prefecture.
These facilities use equipment such as seismometers and inclinometers to gather data.
A task force official reported to the April 18 meeting that a staff member at Kyoto University’s Aso Volcanological Laboratory evacuated the facility because of earthquake damage.
Participants at the meeting also learned that landslides triggered by the quakes have blocked road access to the site.
Equipment at an observation facility operated by the NIED was also knocked out of action due to power outages and other reasons.
According to an official of the Japan Meteorological Agency, six seismometers set up around Mount Aso's crater could not transmit data temporarily.
However, the official said there were “no problems” in the observations of the volcano because of data from inclinometers and the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), which monitors crustal movements.
“We are seeking the cooperation of relevant institutions so that the equipment can be restored as soon as possible,” said Hiroshi Shimizu, a professor of seismology at Kyushu University, who heads the task force.
The importance of closely monitoring Mount Aso heightened after a small eruption on April 16, hours after a 7.3-magnitude earthquake hit Kumamoto Prefecture.
