BOGOTA, June 8 (Reuters) - Colombia's Galeras volcano erupted on Monday for the second time in 24 hours, showering villages in the surrounding area with ash, but causing no damage or injuries, authorities said.
"An eruption of explosive nature has been registered," the national geological institute Ingeominas said in a statement.
No damage was reported from an eruption on Sunday, but authorities ordered 8,000 residents to evacuate the area. Residents often stay in their homes even though Ingeominas puts the zone on alert, warning of more eruptions.
