The Krasheninnikov volcano’s first eruption in centuries is believed to have been triggered in part by the massive earthquake a few earlier.

Russian volcano erupts after centuries of dormancy, spewing hot ash into sky and triggering 7.0-magnitude earthquake with tsunami warning on Kamchatka Peninsula.

The eruption was accompanied by a 7.0-magnitude earthquake and prompted a tsunami warning for three areas of Kamchatka. The tsunami warning was later lifted by Russia's Ministry for Emergency Services.
