The Klyuchevskoy volcano on the Kamchatka peninsula in Russia’s far east has started erupting after Wednesday’s powerful earthquake in the Pacific, APA reports citing Reuters.
The volcano is known to be the tallest active volcano in Eurasia.
The massive quake struck on Wednesday morning in Russia, generating a tsunami of up to 4 metres (13ft) on the country’s east coast, damaging buildings and prompting evacuation warnings in the region and across most of Japan’s east coast, officials said.
Shown below is an image of a previous eruption of the Klyuchevskoy volcano in October 2023, which led to schools in nearby towns closing as a result of the huge ash columns.
