UPDATE 22:35 UTC : The following satellite picture from a weather website clearly indicates that an eruption is going on in the area. Look at the upper right quarter. A point will gradually grow to a major cloud, which means that based on the scale the eruption is very huge.

I watched the loop several times. It's pretty massive and I concur with your statement that it seems to have erupted.

How big were the earthquakes coinciding with the Pinatubo eruption?

Well, there is a tropical wave over Ethiopia, so I’m not 100% confident it’s an eruption plume.

However, it certainly could be one.
