Guatemala escalated its response to the ongoing eruption of the Fuego volcano on Tuesday, moving from a regional 'danger' alert to a nationwide orange alert and ordering evacuations of villages near the volcano. The decision, reported by local media, follows an earlier alert issued by Guatemalan authorities earlier today, as The Zioneer reported at 10:30 Jerusalem. The orange alert indicates a heightened threat level and triggers preparations for potential further escalation. Evacuation details and the number of affected residents were not immediately available.
