Chilean police

Chilean police fired tear gas and used water cannons to disperse stone-throwing students protesting May 28 against what they call inadequate education reforms and heavy-handed crackdowns on recent demonstrations.

The Villarrica volcano erupted early on Tuesday morning, with lava and ashes reaching as far as 1,000 m into the sky, the BBC reported.

According to information of the Chilean police, after the red danger code was issued in Chile, over 3,400 people have been evacuated from the nearby towns of Pucon and Conaripe.
