Saint George, Feb 13 (Prensa Latina) Grenada's monitoring stations recorded 3,400 tremors in the Kick'em Jenny underwater volcano from Friday to last Sunday, according to a statement quoted by local media on Tuesday.

According to the National Disaster Management Agency, since 3:00 a.m., local time, on February 11, activity at the site, located eight kilometers from the country’s northern coast, decreased in magnitude and frequency until it almost stopped completely.

It should be noted that the level of activity may increase, decrease or remain at normal readings, the institution warned, specifying that experts will continue to monitor the volcano and provide updated analyzes of the situation.

Based on the information obtained, the alert level for Kick’em Jenny remains yellow, which means that all maritime interests should maintain the 1.5 kilometer exclusion zone, the text published by the Now Grenada website reported.

Located on the shipping route between Grenada and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the volcano has erupted several times since it was first recorded in 1939.
