Russia volcano eruption spews out massive ash cloud, sparks aviation warnings
abc.net.au/news/russia-volcano-eruption-aviation-warnings/102210562One of Russia's most active volcanoes has erupted, shooting a vast cloud of ash into the sky that smothered villages in layers of grey dust and triggered an aviation warning.

The volcano, one of Kamchatka's largest and most active, would probably calm now, Mr Chebrov said, though he cautioned that further major ash clouds could not be excluded.Volcanic dust blankets the settlement of Klyuchi after the eruption of Shiveluch volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula.
