Guatemala's disaster management agency announced that the eruption of the Fuego volcano has ended after roughly 50 hours of activity that sent ash and lava flows down its slopes, forcing more than 1,700 people to evacuate.
Officials said evacuated families have begun returning home, though the volcano remains active and could erupt again without warning. Roads and schools in the surrounding area are gradually reopening.
Fuego, one of Central America's most active volcanoes, erupts regularly. Authorities said monitoring stations would continue tracking seismic activity and gas emissions closely in the coming days as a precaution.
