Explosión en el cráter Santiago del Volcán Masaya alerta a pobladores de comunidades aledañas The Santiago crater of Masaya Volcano experienced a sudden explosion yesterday, releasing gases and ashes that formed a nearly 100-meter high column. While most material fell into the crater, wind carried a thin layer of ash to western communities, which reported hearing the blast and observing dustfall. These expulsions are considered typical for Masaya, a highly monitored and active volcano, which remains within normal activity parameters with no reported damage or imminent risks.
