Frequent explosive activity in Indonesia and Guatemala stood out today, while Hawaii's Kilauea slipped into a pause. Popocatepetl's ground alert shifted to Orange, and Italy's Stromboli showed both Strombolian bursts and effusive lava.United StatesGreat Sitkin (Watch / Aviation ORANGE) kept slow lava effusion inside the summit crater with weak steaming; rockfalls from the growing dome were detected. At Kilauea (Advisory / Aviation YELLOW), eruptive activity paused, but glow persisted at vents and the crater-floor flows stayed incandescent. Unrest at Shishaldin (Advisory / Aviation YELLOW) produced vapor plumes, SO2 degassing, and intermittent thermal anomalies.IndonesiaHalmahera's Dukono and Ibu were notably noisy, with 82 and 126 explosions respectively; ash rose up to 1.5 km at Dukono and to 600 m at Ibu.

The Instituto Nacional de Sismología, Vulcanología, Meteorología e Hidrología (INSIVUMEH) reported that the eruption continued at Fuego between 5 May 2026 (local) and 6 May 2026 (local). There were explosions reported, occurring at a rate of up to 13 per hour, with plumes rising to a maximum of 937 m (3,074 ft) above the vent. Incandescent material was ejected in pulses up to 300 m above the vent. There were incandescent rockfalls. Gas and vapor plume(s) rose to a maximum of 200 m (656 ft) above the vent. Activity also included: audible sounds (e.g., booms, rumbling), shockwave.
