Thousands of people in eastern El Salvador are leaving their homes after a volcano erupted on Sunday morning.
上周日上午,萨尔瓦多东部一座火山爆发,数千人被迫离开家园。
Some 300 communities live around the volcano. Residents in the coffee-producing region said they had heard a powerful explosion before the Chaparrastique volcano began spewing hot ash and smoke into the air.
Temporary shelters are being set up in the area.
Civil protection authorities say that some 5,000 people live in the area, in San Miguel province.
The Salvadoran government says it had been monitoring the situation since 13 December, when they detected increased activity inside the volcano.
There are more than 20 volcanoes in the small Central American nation.
At 2,129 metres above sea level, Chaparrastique is the third highest volcano in the country.
