As if the earthquake left hundreds of victims and 2,000 injured were not enough, the Mexican state has also been shaken by the powerful volcanic eruption, reports '{0}'News York Post.
Popocatepetl , a volcano about 20 miles [30 km] southeast of the city of Mexico, has broken out with huge dust and gas, while the 7.1 magnitude earthquake rocked the country's central region.
The volcano's monitoring system recorded an intense explosion Wednesday evening, but did not report the collapse, writes the eye.net. A church at the foot of the mountain collapsed during the earthquake and volcanic eruption, killing 15 believers.
Pope Francescu said he was praying for the victims in the predominantly Catholic country. In this moment of pain, I want to express my condolences... I'm praying for all the lovely Mexican people”, he said.
The volcano “pocatepetl” has been especially active this summer and also erupted amid the 21 August solar eclipse.
