Overview
- Authorities say the eruption occurred near the municipal water-treatment plant and close to homes, with no casualties reported.
- Preventive evacuations of nearby residences are being carried out by local and departmental risk-management agencies.
- The only confirmed damage so far is to the road leading to the corregimiento of Siete Vueltas, where crews are working to restore access.
- Viral videos showing a bright flame were explained by geologist Marcela Aristizábal as gas ignition during the mud outflow, not lava.
- Dagran is maintaining continuous monitoring of the site, and experts note typical impacts are localized to about 300 meters in a region known for recurrent mud-diapir activity, including a similar 2025 episode.
