National Center for Disaster Prevention (Cenapred) reported that Popocatepetl Volcano erupted once and emitted gas 52 times.
People in Puebla and Tlaxcala states were advised to take precautions against possible ashfall and mudflows that may occur with rain since ashes spread towards that direction. Authorities also warned the locals to stay away from the vicinity in case stones and pebbles may fall into the environment as the volcano is expected to continue its activities.
Egyptian media reports that ceasefire talks between Hamas and Israel in Gaza, mediated by Qatar and Egypt, are set to resume next week. Israel is awaiting Hamas’s response to the ceasefire offer.
Israeli and US delegations, who were in Doha for negotiations, have returned home for consultations. The current agreement being discussed includes the exchange of hostages and prisoners, with plans for further talks on a permanent ceasefire and the release of additional hostages.
