Ash columns of up to 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) spewed from the Krasheninnikov volcano on Monday, according to the Russian Emergency Ministry. The volcano emitting stones and ash was captured on a video filmed in the Kronotsky Nature Reserve.

A volcano on Russia's eastern Kamchatka Peninsula erupted overnight into Sunday for what scientists said is the first time in hundreds of years, days after a massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake.

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