The Krasheninnikov volcano sent ash six kilometers into the sky. This eruption follows an 8.8-magnitude earthquake in Russia’s Far East on Wednesday.

Officials believe a volcano that erupted in Russia after hundreds of years may be connected to a huge earthquake last week. See video and photos.

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