The Popocatepetl volcano has been periodically erupting since 1994 but experts do not believe this latest burst is related to Mexico City’s recent earthquakes.
The volcano is at level 2 alert, meaning it could continue erupting ash and gas.
The emissions come shortly after three powerful earthquakes that have killed more than 400 people.

The director of Mexico’s disaster agency has said it is an aftershock of the 8.1 quake that hit last week off of the country’s southern coast.
The new quake swayed buildings in Mexico City, which is recovering from a magnitude 7.1 tremor that struck on Thursday.
The 7.1 magnitude earthquake destroyed more than 50 buildings in the sprawling Mexican capital on Tuesday, leaving thousands homeless and close to 300 people dead nationwide.
Just two hours before the quake struck, people had been taking part in evacuation drills on the anniversary of one of Mexico’s deadliest earthquakes which struck in 1985.
