ALBAWABA - Russian authorities have revealed that the Krasheninnikov volcano, located on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, has erupted for the first time in over 600 years following an earthquake, RT reported.
Local authorities explained that the earthquake that shook the Kamchatka Peninsula last week has triggered renewed volcanic activity in the Far East.
Krasheninnikov volcano erupted at 4:50 a.m. local time on Sunday, sending a 6,000-meter column of ash into the sky, the Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT) detailed.
"This is the first historic eruption of Krasheninnikov in 600 years," Olga Girina, head of KVERT, told RIA Novosti.
According to Russian media, the last lava effusion at Krasheninnikov happened around the year 1463, give or take 40 years. Fumarolic activity was recorded in 1963, but no eruption had been documented until 2025, and it happened following the strong 8.8-magnitude quake.
