Guatemala: Towns evacuated as Fuego volcano erupts

Guatemala's disaster management agency, CONRED, issued evacuation orders for several towns near the active Volcan de Fuego after it erupted, sending ash and lava up to four kilometers into the sky. The volcano, located 40 kilometers southwest of Guatemala City, triggered an orange warning, urging residents to evacuate to emergency shelters. Ash clouds reached up to 60 kilometers west of the volcano, potentially disrupting air travel. Authorities warned that the volcano was in its 'most intense phase' and advised caution within a 10-kilometer radius. Despite warnings, local media reported that hikers continued to ascend nearby Acatenango volcano to capture footage of the eruption for social media. The volcano has a history of deadly eruptions, including a 2018 event that killed over 200 people.
