The Japan Meteorological Agency has elevated the eruption warning level for Mount Aso in Kumamoto Prefecture to Level 2, signaling restrictions around the crater due to increased volcanic activity. This decision follows observations of significant sulfur dioxide emissions, reaching 1600 tons per day, and persistent volcanic tremors. Authorities urge caution against possible large eruptions that could generate large rocks and pyroclastic flows within approximately one kilometer of the Nakadake first crater. Source: Aso City
