A powerful 7.0 magnitude earthquake in the Pacific off the eastern coast of Russia triggered the eruption of the Shiveluch volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula, spewing ash up to 8 kilometers into the sky.
The ash cloud from the Shiveluch volcano eruption stretched over 490-1,500 kilometers to the east and southeast, causing ashfall in nearby communities.
The volcano is located near a major naval base, and an ash cloud warning for aircraft was issued due to the Shiveluch volcano eruption.
Scientists warned of the potential for a stronger earthquake following the initial 7.0 magnitude quake.
