The Kamchatka Volcanological Station reported that seismicity at Sheveluch began increasing on 24 April. According to KVERT a new lava dome, named Karan-1, began to grow on the SW flank at around 0200 local time on 27 April based on the intensification of thermal anomalies detected in satellite observations. During 27 April-3 May intense steam-and-gas emissions rose from the active area and on 28 April an ash plume drifted about 25 km NW.

Following the elevated seismic activity, a new lava dome began to grow on 26 April, as reported by the KVERT.
KVERT reported that eruptive activity at Sheveluch continued during 18-26 April with a daily thermal anomaly identified in satellite images. A plume of resuspended ash drifted 195 km S and SE during 22-24 April. The Aviation Color Code remained at Orange (the third level on a four-color scale).
