A volcanic eruption in Guatemala has prompted evacuations and shelters for nearby residents. The Fuego volcano, one of Central America's most active, has spewed ash and mud, affecting about 29,000 people. The country's disaster agency, CONRED, reports that around 1,700 people are currently in shelters.

Evacuations are expected to remain in place until conditions improve. Further details on the eruption and its impact are available from news sources, including updates on the alert level and the status of affected areas, such as Sacatepquez, Escuintla, and Chimaltenango.
