Japanese panel warns Sakurajima volcano may erupt on large scale
According to the panel on the forecast of volcanic activities at the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), the frequency of eruptions at Minamidake summit crater in Kagoshima Prefecture has been on the decrease, while the volume of volcanic ashes remains constant-- indicating that the upcoming eruption may be bigger than usual.

A level 3 alert remains for the active volcano, advising people to avoid approaching the crater. Local weather observatory also warns of small-scale pyroclastic flow when the volcano explodes.

The panel noted that bloating and lifting of the mountain, as well as crustal movement, have been observed on Sakurajima volcano since September 2019.

However, the panel did not mention when exactly the volcano is going to erupt.

On May 9, a plume of ash emitted from the volcano's Minamidake summit crater, reaching up to 4 200 m (13 800 feet) into the sky.

There was no damage reported from the last eruption, but large rocks were flown into the upper part of the mountain and volcanic ashes fell in nearby municipalities. Six flights from and to Kagoshima airport had to be canceled due to ashfall.
