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

The eruption of a volcano in Russia's Kamchatka peninsula may be linked to a massive earthquake last week, experts say.

The eruption of the Krasheninnikov volcano on Sunday in Russia’s Far East came after a series of seismic events this past week on the Kamchatka peninsula.
