A VOLCANO near Mexico City is shooting blasts of ash from its crater, prompting authorities to warn residents that ash could start falling on the city overnight.

The Popocatepetl volcano spewed ash more than a kilometre into the sky four times on Tuesday, Mexico's national disaster prevention agency said.

It said there was a possibility ash could fall on to Mexico City overnight.

The agency was urging people to stay at least 12 kilometres from the crater.

The 15,450-metre volcano, pronounced po-po-ka-TEH-peh-tel, is located about 65 kilometres southeast of the Mexican capital.
