Several Dead and Missing After Explosive Volcano Eruption In Guatemala
At least six people are dead and dozens have been injured after the Volcan de Fuego in Guatemala experienced an explosive eruption, sending rocks and ash 6 miles into the air – blanketing nearby villages and sparking an exodus of at least 2,000 people from affected regions.

The volcano is located around 25 miles southwest of Guatemala City, close to the popular tourist destination of Antigua.
Workers and guests were evacuated from the La Reunion golf club near Antigua. Video footage showed a black cloud of ash rising from just beyond the golf club. The lava river was running on the other side of the volcano. –Reuters

“It’s a river of lava that overflowed its banks and affected the Rodeo village. There are injured, burned and dead people,” said Cabañas. “We are evacuating and rescuing people and have reports of 20 wounded, six dead and disappeared.”
