Popocatépetl Volcano Erupts 13 Times, Disrupting Flights

Authorities issue safety warnings and urge residents to maintain distance from Mexico's active volcano.

Mexico's Popocatépetl volcano erupted 13 times in one day, causing significant ash and smoke emissions.
The eruptions have led to the cancellation of at least 22 flights and temporary closure of Puebla International Airport.
Authorities have issued a 'yellow phase 2' alert, urging people to stay away from the volcano and avoid climbing it.
Volcanic ash poses a serious hazard to aviation, reducing visibility and potentially causing engine failure.
Around 25 million people live within a 60-mile radius of the volcano, but officials do not currently see an immediate risk to the population, provided they maintain a safe distance.
