A powerful earthquake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula triggered the eruption of the Shiveluch volcano, sending ash plumes soaring five kilometers into the sky. The seismic activity briefly led to a “code red” warning for aircraft in the region. The tremors, which registered a magnitude of 7.0, also raised concerns about a possible larger quake within 24 hours. Scientists have warned of potential aftershocks, with the region already on high alert. Despite the intensity, there have been no reports of casualties.
