Small explosive eruptions this morning, first eruption in 110 years at Momotombo volcano in Nicaragua

A series of at least 4 small explosions occurred at the volcano this morning, at 07:49, 08:17, 08:42, and 08:55 local time. The eruptions, in particular the last and largest one, produced steam and ash plumes that rose up to approx. 1 km from the summit. 
 
Light ash fall was observed in the community of El Papalonal and near the Momotombo geothermal plant to the SW of the volcano.
