Krasheninnikov volcano in the Russian Far East erupted for the first time in the centuries

A volcano erupted on the Kamchcca Peninsula in Russia overnight on Sunday for what scientists said the first time in hundreds of years, days after a huge earthquake of 8.8 people.

Krasheninnikov volcano sent ashes a six kilometers in the sky, according to the employees of the Kronotsky Nature Reserve, where the volcano is located. The photos released by the government media showed thick clouds of ash rising over the volcano.

“The column is spread east of the volcano towards the Pacific Ocean.”

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. “

However, the Smithsonian -based global volcanic program lists in the United States, the last eruption of Krasheninnikov in 1550, 475 years old.

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.

The explosion occurred after a huge earthquake struck the east of Russia early on Wednesday, which is a 8.8 -degree crystallization that caused small tsunami waves in Japan and Alaska and pushed Huaei, north and central Pacific Islands south towards New Zealand.
