Guatemala's Fuego Volcano Erupts, Prompting Evacuation Orders for Two Nearby Villages

Guatemala's Fuego volcano erupted, prompting evacuation orders for two nearby villages. The country's disaster agency CONRED said the volcano, located about 50 kilometers southwest of the capital, became active yesterday morning, with intensity increasing through the day. An orange alert was declared, with warnings that ash could spread to surrounding areas.

A nearby highway was closed to traffic, and schools in the region suspended classes. Guatemala's seismology, volcanology, and meteorology institute also reported heightened eruption intensity. The 3,763-meter Fuego is one of Central America's most active volcanoes; its 2018 eruption killed around 200 people.
