The activity of the volcano has remained essentially unchanged at moderate levels characterized by effusive-explosive eruption.
A beautiful strombolian activity continues from the summit crater associated with lava spattering with ejecta thrown at an approximate height 300 meters above the crater. Gas-steam plume containing some amount of ash reached 23,000 ft (7,000 m) altitude and extending about 60 km to the east of the volcano.

The lava flow on the southeast flank along the Apakhonchich chute remains active, currently about 2,000 m long.
A satellite image from 8 November shows that elevated surface temperatures in the area of volcanic edifice were observed as MIROVA Detection System detected a very high thermal anomaly (1059 MW-1373 MW) during the past 3 days, likely caused by the lava flow.
