There have been more eruptions at the Colima Volcano this week, sending ash and smoke more than three kilometers into the air.

Also known as the Volcano of Fire, it has been active since July 9, when ash falls forced the evacuation of several communities a few days later.

It was previously active in January and February.Various eruptions took place yesterday and Thursday.

A state of emergency was declared last month and nearly 700 people were evacuated in five municipalities in the states of Colima and Jalisco.
