Popocatepetl volcano sends ash over Puebla in dramatic explosion

Mexico's Popocatepetl volcano has seen a dramatic overnight explosion that sent ash blowing over the major city of Puebla directly to the east, forcing closure of the city's airport.

Officials there are urging to people to wear masks or damp cloths over their mouth and nose to avoid inhaling the fine grit that has covered houses and cars, and remain indoors when possible.
