Russian volcano eruption could be linked to huge earthquake
The eruption on Saturday may be linked to the recent 8.8-magnitude earthquake in Kamchatka, which triggered tsunami warnings across the Pacific.
An ash plume reaching 6,000 metres (3.7 miles) was recorded, drifting eastward over the Pacific Ocean away from populated areas.
Olga Girina, head of the Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT), said that the volcano's last 'lava effusion' happened around 1463, with no eruptions since.
Another earthquake, measured between magnitude 6.7 and 7, struck Russia's Kuril Islands this weekend, prompting a low-level tsunami warning from the Ministry for Emergency Services.
