Russia’s Krasheninnikov Volcano erupted for the first time in recorded history, sending ash 6 km high. No settlements are threatened. The eruption follows a recent major earthquake in Kamchatka.

The Krasheninnikov Volcano erupted on Sunday, Aug. 3, marking the volcano's first eruption in 600 years. The eruption may be linked to the massive earthquake that hit Russia less than a week earlier and caused tsunami warnings in multiple countries.
