Baku-APA. The Tungurahua volcano in Ecuador is spewing out red-hot rocks and billowing coarse ash, APA reports quoting Associated Press.

The South American country’s Geophysical Institute says the increased activity began Sunday afternoon. It says the volcano has thrown pyroclastic boulders up to a mile from the crater, and there have been at least four earthquakes in the area.

The 16,480-foot (5,023-meter) volcano is in a sparsely populated area about 84 miles (135 kilometers) southeast of Ecuador’s capital, Quito. It has been active since 1999.
