Volcanic Eruption Follows Quake and Tsunami Warnings in Russia and California
TL;DR Summary
A rare eruption of the Krasheninnikov volcano in Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula occurred for the first time in over 400 years, shortly after a massive magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck the region, possibly triggered by seismic waves affecting underground magma systems. The eruption prompted aviation alerts, but the area remains sparsely populated with no immediate threat to people.
