The Klyuchevskoy volcano in Russia erupted and its ash reached up to 3 kilometers above sea level, according to the Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT), of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, after a powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 8.8 hit the region.
"By this time, the ash cloud has spread 58 kilometers east of the volcano. The volcano continues to erupt at the summit. Ash emissions to heights of up to 8 kilometers above sea level may occur at any time. Continued activity may affect low-altitude flights ," the statement said, according to Interfax.
KVERT also reported that "the volcano's crater is almost filled with lava and lava flows are expected."
An orange aviation warning code has been issued, but international flights do not pass through the Klyuchevsky area.
The Kluchevskaya Sopka volcano, also known as Kluchevskoy, is located in Kamchatka, which geologically belongs to the Pacific Ocean's Ring of Fire.
It is the highest peak in Siberia and the highest active volcano in Eurasia, reaching a height of 4,750 meters. The volcano is part of the Kamchatka Volcanoes natural monument, which has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It is a volcano, formed about 7,000 years ago by successive eruptions of lava, ash, and other volcanic materials.
Its classic conical shape makes it an impressive feature in the landscape, while its intense activity ranks it among the most active volcanoes in the world.
