Guatemala's Fuego volcano is currently erupting, prompting the evacuation of nearly 300 families, with warnings for another 30,000 people at risk. The eruption began Sunday night, and while no casualties have been reported, authorities have closed schools and a key road. The greatest danger comes from lahars, which can bury villages. The volcano's last eruption was in June 2023, and a previous eruption in 2018 resulted in 194 deaths. Isaac García and his family evacuated to a public shelter in San Juan Alotenango. The flow of volcanic material is moderate but expected to increase, affecting airline operations due to ash clouds. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
