The Fuego volcano in Guatemala erupted, prompting the evacuation of 1,700 people to shelters. Authorities issued red alerts in three departments, warning of ashfall and mudflows, with 29,000 residents affected. Previous eruptions in 2018 and 2023 caused significant casualties and destruction.

Residents of two villages near Guatemala's Fuego volcano evacuated following an eruption, with gas, ash, and lava flows reported. The eruption, which began Monday, prompted evacuation orders and highway closures, while a previous 2018 eruption caused hundreds of deaths and widespread impact.

Guatemala has ordered evacuations for El Porvenir and Las Lajitas due to an eruption of the Fuego volcano, which produced lava flows, ash clouds, and pyroclastic flows. Authorities issued an orange alert, closed National Route 14, and suspended classes nearby. The eruption follows a deadly 2018 event that killed hundreds and destroyed a village.
