PETROPAVOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, Russia — One of Russia ’s most active volcanoes has erupted, spewing plumes of ash 5 kilometers into the sky over the far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula and briefly triggering a “code red” warning for aircraft.The Shiveluch volcano began sputtering shortly after a powerful 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck off Kamchatka’s east coast early Sunday, according to volcanologists from the Russia n Academy of Sciences.
A separate report on Sunday carried by the official Tass news agency said that no commercial flights had been disrupted and there was no damage to aviation infrastructure.The tremors in the area may be a prelude to an even stronger earthquake in southeastern Kamchatka, Russian scientists warned. The Institute of Volcanology said a potential second quake could come “within 24 hours” with a magnitude approaching 9.0.
