Abstract. The new episode of the eruptive activity of the Bezymyanny Volcano in Kamchatka started in 2016. The article demonstrates the precursor situations identified by increasing the level of seismicity and analyzed in real time before three eruptions in November 2016 – March 2017. The application of the formalized forecasting technique developed for the Bezymyanny Volcano using seismic data from 1999 to 2014 [Saltykov, 2016] allows the formulation of the probabilistic forecast of eruptions in real time.

Keywords: Kamchatka, Bezymianny Volcano, precursor, forecasting, earthquake, eruption.
