June 20, 2003

Volcanic ash dimmed and dirtied an otherwise sunny afternoon in this capital city after Mexico's Popocatepetl volcano shot a dark plume three kilometres into the sky today.

The activity at the 5,450-metre volcano took place at 9.20am (local time) and lasted about two minutes.

By early afternoon, winds had carried airborne ash to Mexico City, 65km north-west of the volcano.
