The Nicaraguan Institute of Territorial Studies says the volcano has been erupting for two days, causing quakes of up to magnitude-4.

The institute says Saturday's eruptions pose no imminent threat to the surrounding population.

The 5725-foot (1,745-meter) volcano is about 70 miles (110 kilometers) west of the capital, Managua.

It neighbors the Casitas volcano, whose lake burst open during Hurricane Mitch in 1998. Some 2,000 people were killed.
