MANAGUA, NICARAGUA — Nicaragua’s San Cristobal volcano is spewing ash and gas, provoking a shudder of small earthquakes.
The Nicaraguan Institute of Territorial Studies says the volcano has been erupting for two days, causing quakes of up to magnitude-4.
The institute says Saturday’s eruptions pose no imminent threat to the surrounding population.
The 5,725-foot volcano is about 70 miles west of the capital, Managua.
It neighbors the Casitas volcano, whose lake burst open during Hurricane Mitch in 1998. Some 2,000 people were killed.
