GUATEMALA CITY, Dhu-AlQa'dah 13, 1437, August 16, 2016, SPA -- Guatemala's Santiaguito volcano has spouted a plume of ash that rose 16,400 feet (5,000 meters) above sea level and scattered ash into neighboring Mexico, according to AP. The National Seismological Institute said the eruption took place at about 7 a.m. The volcano is about 65 kilometers (40 miles) from the Mexican border. The spokesman for Guatemala's disaster response agency, David De Leon, said ash fell as far away as Mexico's southern state of Chiapas, where authorities described the fall in cities such as Tapachula as light. De Leon said the volcano is one of the most explosive in Latin America, with about 76 eruptions this year. --SPA 23:51 LOCAL TIME 20:51 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
