Volcanic Eruptions Follow Major Earthquake in Russia

A powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Russia has triggered a series of volcanic eruptions, with multiple volcanoes awakening in the Kamchatka region. Experts report that seven volcanoes have been affected, with some, such as the Krasheninnikov and Klyuchevskoy volcanoes, erupting for the first time in centuries. The seismic activity has resulted in significant ash plumes, impacting local tourism and raising concerns over potential hazards. Despite a temporary tsunami warning following the quake, it has since been lifted, although the volcanic activity continues to pose risks to the region.
