[HIGHLIGHTS] The Popocatepetl volcano emits ash and rocks and forces the cancellation of flights. But "at the moment there is no catastrophic activity"

Popocatépetl volcano continues to emit incandescent material with a constant column of about 5,240 feet high heading east-northwest. 7,275 military personnel have been deployed and nine routes have been mapped out for a possible evacuation.

The Government recommends that people in the regions near the volcano stay at home, wear masks and do not do outdoor sports. The suspension of face-to-face classes in public and private schools in 40 municipalities of Puebla was confirmed; five from the State of Mexico and seven from Tlaxcala.
