The Fuego volcano increased its eruptive activity Tuesday and threw ashes on several villages in Guatemala, so that the authorities remain alert, although no evacuation has been ordered.
As reported by the State Coordinator for Disaster Reduction (Conrad) in a statement, the Fuego volcano is again at a higher range of activity observed moderate to strong explosions and columns of gray ash up to 4,700 meters on the level of sea.
The report indicates that the ash from the activity falls on the villages and hamlets, including the town of San Pedro Yepocapa. The seismic station recorded activity caused by explosions and avalanches block the labors of the volcano.
For its part, the State Institute of Volcanology reiterated to the Directorate General of Civil Aeronautics precaution to keep air traffic by the presence of dispersed ash near the volcano.
