Saturday, November 22, 2014, 2:36 PM - The Colima volcano in western Mexico has erupted, sending a column of ash about 5 kilometres into the air.

Mexico's federal civil defense office said Friday that ash has fallen on towns as far as 25 kilometres from the peak, which is also known as the Volcano of Fire. Glowing hot rock tumbled down the volcano's flanks over a 2 kilometres from the crater.
