The Puracé Volcano, on orange alert, has emitted ash and gases, complicating the situation after the earthquake in Colombia.
In southwestern Colombia, the Puracé Volcano has begun to emit ash and gases, prompting an orange alert due to the risk of eruption. This volcanic activity adds to the crisis the country is facing following a 7.4 magnitude earthquake that caused significant damage in several regions.
