Guatemala’s Fuego volcano erupted Monday, sending ash and lava plumes nearly four miles into the air and forcing hundreds of residents to evacuate their homes. The event triggered an orange alert, the country's second-highest level, as emergency services monitor the slopes of the active peak. While Al Jazeera focuses on the proximity to the deadly 2018 disaster, The Guardian emphasizes the specific height of the eruption and the scale of the immediate evacuation efforts. Whether the eruption will escalate or subside depends on ongoing seismic activity, which remains under assessment by local officials.
