Just now! Volcano Shiveluch exploded in Russia! Kamchatka is covered in ashes!

Shiveluch volcano erupted early Tuesday morning in Russia. Ashes rose to a height of 20 kilometers. This is the highest altitude ever observed for the volcano. Ash fall was the largest in the last 60 years. As a result, volcanic ash covered many villages in Kamchatka. The village of Klyuchi, located near the volcano, suffered the most. Residents were advised not to leave their homes unnecessarily. A red aviation hazard code was introduced. The ash cloud is expected to reach the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. At the moment, the eruption has stopped. Shiveluch is one of the largest volcanoes in Kamchatka. Scientists predicted a powerful eruption of Shiveluch many months before it began.
