The Krasheninnikov volcano in Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula erupted for the first time in about 600 years after a powerful magnitude-8.8 earthquake. The volcano sent ash 6 kilometers into the sky. Officials say the ash plume drifted eastward over the Pacific Ocean, posing no immediate threat to residents. The government gave the volcano an “orange” aviation alert. The last time this volcano erupted was in the 15th century.
