Mexico Popocatepetl Blasts Out Ash




The Popocatepetl volcano spewed ash more than a kilometre into the sky four times on Tuesday, Mexico's national disaster prevention agency said.

It said there was a possibility ash could fall on to Mexico City overnight.

The agency was urging people to stay at least 12 kilometres from the crater.

The 15,450-metre volcano (26,242 ft.), pronounced po-po-ka-TEH-peh-tel, is located about 65 kilometres southeast of the Mexican capital.
