A volcano erupts in Russia for the first time in the centuries

A volcano erupted on the Kamchcca Peninsula in Russia overnight for the first time for the first time in at least 400 years.

The Krasheninnikov volcano sent ash more than 3.7 miles to the sky, according to the employees of the Kronotsky Reserve, where the volcano is. The explosion came a few days after the huge 8.8 earthquake It was struck in the region, causing tsunami in Japan and Alaska and led to warnings for the northern and central America and the Pacific Islands in the south towards New Zealand.

The photos released by the government media showed thick clouds of ash rising over the volcano.

“The East Pillar is spread east of the volcano towards the Pacific Ocean,” said the Ministry of Emergency Cases in Kamscham.

The explosion was accompanied by an earthquake of 7.0 exaggerated and pushed a tsunami to three areas of Camsha. A tsunami warning was later lifted by the Emergency Services Ministry of Emergency Services.

Oga Jirina, head of the response team of the volcanic explosion in Kamchalatka, told “RIA Novosi”, head of the response team of the volcanic explosion in Kamchatka, told Olga Girina, head of the response team of the volcanic explosion in Kamchatka, to the Russian News Agency Ria Novosti: “This is the first historically confirmed eruption of Berkan Krasheninnikov 600 years ago. “

On Telegram channel of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, Girina said that the last volcanic lava in Krasheninnikov had occurred within 40 years of 1463.

However, the Smithsonian -based global volcanic program in the United States has been listing the last eruption of Krasheninnikov since 475 years in 1550.

The reason for the contradiction was not clear.

The response team of the volcanic explosion in Kamchatka said late on Sunday that the volcano activity is decreasing, but “moderate explosive activity” could continue.
