Ecuador volcano's deadly eruption
Erupting volcano
The Tungurahua volcano, located about 130km (80 miles) south of the capital Quito, began erupting on Wednesday and activity intensified overnight.
The Ecuadorean authorities, on alert since recent seismic activity, have managed to evacuate hundreds of people.
"We have recovered the body of one man," Local mayor Juan Salazar told a local television station. "We have three or four other people trapped in the rubble."

"This is an indescribable catastrophe. The houses have collapsed. The rocks that fell caused injuries and burns in the city of Riobamba and in Penipe," he said.
