An explosion registered this morning in the Popocatépetl volcano has surprised the neighbors of the State of Puebla and those of the north and east of Mexico City. The fall of ash has forced the closure of the Benito Juárez and Felipe Ángeles airports, which serve the capital, which is 72 kilometers from the volcano.

At 5:08 a.m., the most central airport reported that it had decided to stop all activity, "due to the presence of volcanic ash"
