7.2-magnitude earthquake strikes off Russian coast - tsunami warning issued
The Shiveluch volcano in Kamchatka erupted, releasing ash plumes 5 kilometers high, triggering a brief “code red” warning for aircraft.
The eruption followed a powerful 7.0 magnitude earthquake off Kamchatka’s east coast, according to volcanologists from the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The Institute of Volcanology and Seismology released a video showing the ash cloud, while the Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team confirmed no flights were disrupted.
