Guatemala’s Fuego volcano on Friday has quieted after a 32-hour long eruption, authorities said Friday.<\/p>\n

The volcano, located some 35 kilometers (22 miles) southwest of the capital Guatemala City, began spewing lava and ash high into the sky on Thursday. <\/p>\n

No damages or injuries have been reported and Emilio Barrillas, spokesman for National Volcanology Institute, told journalists that ash eruptions eased and lava emissions stopped on Friday.<\/p>\n

“The seismic, acoustic and field observation parameters have shown that in the last hours this (eruptive) activity has remained in a progressive decline, which translates into low effusive activity,” Barrillas said. <\/p>\n

Fuego, 3.7 kilometers (12,240 feet) high, is one of three active volcanoes in Guatemala.<\/p>\n

Though some areas on its eastern flank saw a bit of ash fall, there were no evacuations, the official said.<\/p>\n

The current activity is the strongest since June 2018, when Fuego unleashed a torrent of mud and ash that wiped the village of San Miguel Los Lotes from the map, said Barillas.<\/p>\n

More than 200 people were killed.<\/p>\n\n
