Watch: Lava spews into the air as volcano erupts in Guatemala

The eruption of the Fuego volcano in Guatemala has triggered the evacuation of at least two villages on its slopes.

Fuego, one of the most active volcanoes in the Western Hemisphere, started spewing lava and ash on Monday.

Pyroclastic currents - rivers of gas, volcanic ash and rock fragments - continued to flow down Fuego's south-eastern slope early on Tuesday, the government agency which monitors its activity said.
