MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -An ongoing eruption at central Guatemala’s Fuego volcano has caused over 700 people living in nearby communities to evacuate, the country’s disaster agency CONRED said on Friday.
The volcano, located some 18 km (11 miles) from the city of Antigua, was producing a column of smoke and lava stream that was accumulating around its crater, Guatemala’s seismology agency added.
Authorities said they continued to monitor the situation.
