Colima’s volatile Volcano of Fire staged a spectacular midnight eruption, scattering its flanks with glowing rock and spewing ash on nearby towns early today. No injuries or damage were reported.

The Jalisco state civil defence agency said an explosion shot glowing material some 2,000ft into the air.

The 12,533ft peak is the active part of the Colima Volcano complex 490 miles west of Mexico City. It also experienced explosive eruptions on May 23 and May 30.

The Televisa television network reported that ash fell on Colima city, the capital of the small state of the same name.
