Etna's summit area this morning

Eruption from Sakurajima yesterday

Etna (Sicily, Italy) [3]: The New SE crater has remained quiet since yesterday, although seismic activity remains above background. Strong degassing is visible from Bocca Nuova.

Sakurajima (Kyushu, Japan) [4]: The volcano had at least 6 vulcanian explosions yesterday. The largest (at 08:09 local time this morning) sent an ash plume to 15,000 ft (4.5 km) altitude.
The following video shows the spectacular activity during the night:
