If you watch the video feed for long enough you will find that at some times that happens about once a minute. Sometimes the vents do little but leak gently; sometimes they explode and send material hundreds of metres into the air.
Note that the side of the cone has collapsed. I watched much of that happening in real time.
All rather interesting as long as you are at a safe distance.
