The Krasheninnikov Volcano erupted on Sunday, Aug. 3, marking the volcano's first eruption in 600 years. The eruption may be linked to the massive earthquake that hit Russia less than a week earlier and caused tsunami warnings in multiple countries.

A volcano on Russia's eastern Kamchatka Peninsula erupted overnight into Sunday for what scientists said is the first time in hundreds of years, days after a massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake.

The eruption of the Krasheninnikov volcano on Sunday in Russia’s Far East came after a series of seismic events this past week on the Kamchatka peninsula.
