Background:

Volcán Popocatépetl, whose name is the Aztec word for smoking mountain, towers to 5426 m 70 km SE of Mexico City to form North America’s 2nd-highest volcano.  The glacier-clad stratovolcano contains a steep-walled, 250-450 m deep crater.  The generally symmetrical volcano is modified by the sharp-peaked Ventorrillo on the NW, a remnant of an earlier volcano. 
At least three previous major cones were destroyed by gravitational failure during the Pleistocene, producing massive debris-avalanche deposits covering broad areas south of the volcano.  The modern volcano was constructed to the south of the late-Pleistocene to Holocene El Fraile cone.  Three major plinian eruptions, the most recent of which took place about 800 AD, have occurred from Popocatépetl since the mid Holocene, accompanied by pyroclastic flows and voluminous lahars that swept basins below the volcano.  Frequent historical eruptions, first recorded in Aztec codices, have occurred since precolumbian

A magnitude 5.2 earthquake near Usulutan, Departamento de Usulutan, El Salvador, was reported only 8 minutes ago by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a moderately shallow depth of 44. km beneath the epicenter early evening on Saturday, November 8th, 2025, at 7:49 pm local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Puerto El Triunfo (pop. 19,100) located 24 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Usulutan (pop. 51,900) located 36 km from the epicenter, San Rafael Oriente (pop. 19,100) 46 km away, Soyapango (pop. 329,700) 86 km away, San Salvador (pop. 526,000) 87 km away, Mejicanos (pop. 160,300) 90 km away, and Santa Tecla (pop. 124,700) 93 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if
