Guatemala City: Authorities in Guatemala have announced the end of the Fuego volcano eruption, which began approximately 30 hours earlier and led to the precautionary evacuation of over 700 residents from surrounding areas. The eruption saw the volcano spewing ash plumes reaching up to 5 kilometers into the sky, with lava accumulating around its crater located about 18 kilometers from the city of Antigua.
According to Emirates News Agency, evacuated families spent the night in temporary shelters as a safety measure. The Fuego volcano has shown frequent activity over the years. The 2018 eruption was particularly significant, being the deadliest in decades and claiming more than 200 lives.
