The new lava dome is located on the western part of Young Shiveluch. The new dome's activity is accompanied by ash plumes reaching an altitude of 9 km above sea level, its current height already surpassed the Young Shiveluch's height. The seismic instrument continues to detect volcanic tremor reflecting hot avalanches racing down the western slope.Kusatsu-Shirane (Honshu): The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) reported that unrest continued at Kusatsu-Shiranesan between 25 February 2026 (local) and 26 February 2026 (local).

At 1904 on 26 February, a moderately explosive eruption was recorded at the summit crater, lasting 2 minutes (according to seismic and infrasound data). The eruption plume rose 2,500 m above the vent and drifted SW. Incandescent volcanic ballistic projectiles were ejected around the crater area. Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs), or pyroclastic flows, descended the E and SE flanks within 2 km of the summit crater. Immediately following the explosive eruption, a continuous ash emission persisted for approximately 71 minutes.
