Strong explosive-effusive eruption of the volcano continues. Ash explosions up  to 10 km (33,000 ft.) ASL could occur at any time and could affect international and low-flying aircraft.

Seismicity was above background levels: volcanic  earthquakes and a strong volcanic tremor were registered. According  to visual and video data, ash plumes rose up to 5.0 km (16,400 ft) ASL and  extended to the north-east from the volcano on June 15, clouds obscured the volcano on other days. Ash falls was noted in Kluchi on June 17-18 and  at Kozyrevsk on June 19-20. Sounds of strong explosions were heard in Klyuchi on June 14-17. According to satellite  data, a large thermal anomaly persists. Ash plumes extended for about 400 km (249 mi) to the northern, western and southern directions all week. According to cyclonic activity at the area of Kamchatka, large ash clouds from Klyuchevskoy, 300x300 km in size, was observed near Yelizovo airoport on June  20-21. Approximate plumes altitudes based on atmospheric profiles were 6500-9500 m (21,300-31,200ft) ASL. Ash clouds moved over Yelizovo and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky to the south-east.

Growth of the lava dome continues. Ash explosions up to 10 km  (32,800 ft.) ASL could occur at any time. The activity of the volcano  could affect international and low-flying aircraft.

Seismic activity  remains above background levels. Many shallow volcanic earthquakes were registered. According to seismic data, ash plumes up to 5.3 km (17,400 ft) ASL  occurred at the volcano last week. Gas-steam plumes extending to the south were observed on June 15, clouds obscured the volcano on other days.  According to satellite data, a big thermal anomaly was noted on  June 14-17 and 20.
