Mexico City, Shawwal 27, 1437, Aug 1, 2016, SPA -- Mexico's national disaster prevention agency says the Popocatepetl volcano has spewed ash over Mexico City and neighboring areas. The agency says the volcano erupted for about nine hours, until 3 a.m. Mexico City residents awoke Monday to cars coated in a light dusting of ash. The disaster agency's monitoring cameras showed glowing rocks shot from the volcano's crater landing more than a half-mile (1,000 meters) down its slope, AP reported. About 25 million people live within 62 miles (100 kilometers) of the crater of the 17,797-foot (5,426-meter) stratovolcano. It's been periodically erupting since 1994. --SPA 18:02 LOCAL TIME 15:02 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
