MEXICO CITY, Oct. 3 (UPI) -- Mexico's Colima volcano has generated eruptions that have led to the evacuation of hundreds and the creation of a more than 7-mile exclusion zone, Mexican officials said.
The Mexican government said Colima's elevated volcanic activity has maintained since last Monday. The Colima volcano -- known by Mexicans as the Volcano of Fire -- is in Mexico's Colima state, which borders the Jalisco state where authorities have also declared a nearly 5-mile exclusion zone.
