Guatemala issues high alert as Fuego Volcano activity intensifies
Guatemala has raised its emergency alert to the second-highest level following a surge in activity at the Fuego Volcano, which is now producing lava flows and ash clouds reaching 6 km into the sky. As one of the most active volcanoes in Central America, this eruption has led to mandatory evacuations within a 10-km zone, the suspension of classes, and the closure of several roads. Officials have advised residents to ensure all doors and windows remain shut.
