Nicaragua's San Cristobal Volcano Spews
Ashes, Gas
Managua - Nicaragua's San Cristobal
volcano has let off a series of explosions,
spewing gases and showering ash on nearby
towns.
There are no reports of injuries or damage.
Civil Defense Maj. Carlos Caceres says
Sunday's blasts prompted officials to issue
an alert for 25 districts near the volcano.
The 5,725-foot (1,745-meter) volcano is
located about 70 miles (110 kilometers)
northwest of Managua, near the Honduran
border.
San Cristobal's last such activity occurred
three years ago.
