In brief: From Wire Reports:
MEXICO CITY – Seismic activity has increased at the Popocatepetl volcano near Mexico City, leading authorities to alert towns in two central states and the capital.
Mexico’s National Disaster Prevention Center said the white-capped volcano spewed a plume of steam more than a half mile into the sky. The volcano shook Saturday night, sometimes emitting glowing rock.
The government deployed soldiers and federal police to the area Sunday in the event of a bigger eruption, and officials closed off a seven-square-mile zone around the cone of the 17,886-foot volcano.
N. Korea replaces defense chief
SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea has replaced its hard-line defense chief with a little-known army general.
The significance of Jang Jong Nam’s appointment wasn’t immediately clear. The announcement comes amid tentative signs of an interest in diplomacy after weeks of rising animosity and dueling threats on the Korean Peninsula. It’s not known when Jang replaced Kim Kyok Sik.
Kim is the former commander of battalions believed responsible for deadly attacks on South Korea in 2010.
State media previously identified Jang as head of the army’s First Corps who pledged allegiance to Kim Jong Un and threatened South Korea in a speech last December.
Iranian guards kill 10, Afghanistan says
KABUL, Afghanistan – Iranian border guards killed 10 Afghan migrants and wounded another eight when hundreds tried to illegally cross into Iran in search of work, Afghanistan’s Interior Ministry said Sunday. Iran denied the claim.
An Interior Ministry statement said 300 Afghan laborers tried to cross into Iran illegally, looking for work. Iranian border guards opened fire, killing 10, it said. The ministry also blamed its own border guards for allowing the laborers to cross, though they had neither visas nor passports. Two Afghan border guards were dismissed and could face charges of neglect of duty, the ministry said.
In Tehran, Iran’s chief of border guards, Gen. Hamid Sharafi, denied any shooting at Afghan migrants, according to Iran’s semi-official ISNA news agency.

Toasty start to May sets weather record
Sunday’s high temperature of 80 degrees at Spokane International Airport set a record for the earliest seven consecutive days of 80 or above.
According to the National Weather Service in Spokane, there had previously been six consecutive days of temperatures that high this early in the year, in 1987 and 1949.
The warm weather is not expected to last, as the next few days call for a cold front with highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s, meteorologist Bob Tobin said. The cooler weather is more on target with average temperatures for this time of year.
“We do see temperatures well into the 80s this time of year but we usually don’t see them lasting six or seven days,” Tobin said.
Today’s forecast also calls for a chance of afternoon or early evening thunderstorms.
