After one of the powerful earthquakes on a record strike in the region with a volcano in the Russian eastern Kamchatka region, it broke out for the first time in 450 years according to its emergency body.
The Smithsonian Institution Global Volcanism Program said Kraseninnikov, sleeping since its last eruption in 1550, has now emerged the massive cloud of ash, as shown by images published by the Russian state media.
The Ministry of emergency situations Kamchatka said on the telegram that the ash cloud reached an estimated height of 6,000 meters (19,700 feet).
The ministry said: “Plme is spreading east of the volcano towards the Pacific Ocean. There are no inhabited areas along its journey and no ashes have been recorded in populated locations.”
The Ministry added that the volcano was classified with the “orange” code of the risk of aviation, the signaling potential disturbance of the flight in this area.
This event occurred shortly after the eruption of Klyuchevskoyoyoy, the highest active volcano in Europe and Asia, which broke out on Wednesday.
The global volcanism program notes that eruptions of enemuchevskoy are relatively common, with at least 18 since 2000.
Both eruptions followed one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded on Wednesday, leading to a warning to the tsunami and forcing millions of people to evacuate coastal regions from Japan to Hawaii to Ecuador.
The officials said the most serious damage occurred in Russia, where the tsunami made the port of Sever-Kušilsko and flooded the fishing plant.

Scientists said that the Pacific Plate movement is on the Peninsula Kamchatka, which is located on the Russian Far East Coast, especially vulnerable to the earthquake, and warned that greater shocks remain possible, Reuters reported.
It concentrated near the town of Petropavovlovlovsk-kamchatic, it was the largest earthquake from the catastrophic earthquake of Tohoku 2011, which triggered a tsunami that led to a disintegration in the Japanese nuclear plant Fukushima Daiichi.
“The Kamchatka seismic zone is one of the most active subduction zones around the Pacific Fire Ring and the Pacific Plate moves to the west of 80 mm (3 inches) per year, Roger Musson, said an honorary researcher in a British geological survey.
