Russia's Krasheninnikov volcano, dormant for nearly 600 years, erupted, spewing ash 5-6 kilometers high and lava 2.7 kilometers down its southwestern slope. A magnitude 6.8 earthquake preceded the eruption, possibly linked to a recent 8.8 magnitude quake. The Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT) issued an aviation warning and advised against visiting the volcano. This eruption, captured on film for the first time, is considered normal for the region's high volcanic activity.
