The Galeras volcano in southern Colombia erupted Saturday, prompting authorities to order the evacuation of about 8,000 people.

There were no reports of any injuries. Galeras, located in the Andes mountains near Colombia's border with Ecuador, erupted 10 times in 2009.

Most people living in the vicinity are used to the alerts and often refuse to evacuate when ordered to by local authorities.

Thousands of revelers celebrating the annual Black and White Carnival in the nearby city of Pasto were startled by the eruption but continued with their festivities.
