MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico has lowered the alert level for the Popocatepetl volcano a notch, just weeks after an increased level of explosive activity belched ash over Mexico City and prompted international airlines to suspend flights.

The alert level for the volcano, located some 50 miles (80 km) to the southeast of the capital, was lowered to yellow phase two from yellow phase three, Mexico City's mayor and Mexico's interior minister said on Twitter without giving details.
