Mexico's Popocatepetl volcano erupted on Sunday (April 3), lighting up the night sky while belching ash and smoke, authorities reported.
At 20:30 hrs local time (2:30 hrs GMT on Monday), a spectacular column of ash erupted into the air from the volcano, located 50 miles (80 km) southeast of the capital.
National Civil Protection Coordinator Luis Felipe Puente said in his Twitter account, ash and smoke rose 2,000 metres (6,561 feet) above the crater of the volcano, with the heaviest ashfall towards the east and northeast of the volcano.
The explosion was accompanied by incandescent fragments along Popocatepetl's eastern, northeastern slopes.
