The Japan Meteorological Agency continues to issue eruption warnings in the surrounding waters, calling for caution on vessels navigating and flying aircraft in the vicinity.

In the image, you can see that white smoke began to rise after 6 o'clock on the morning of the 13th and then flowed to the west sea.
For this reason, the Japan Meteorological Agency announced at 10:30 am that "it seems that a submarine eruption occurred at Fukutoku Okanoba."
The eruption has been observed for the first time in 11 years since February 2010, and the Japan Meteorological Agency has continued to issue eruption warnings in the surrounding waters, calling for caution on vessels navigating nearby and flying aircraft.
At Fukutoku-Okanoba, observations made by the Japan Coast Guard in June confirmed that volcanic activity had become more active, such as discoloration of the surrounding sea surface.
