An aviation warning has been triggered following an eruption from one of Russia’s most active volcanoes, with a huge cloud of ash shot into the sky.
The Shiveluch volcano, in the country’s eastern Kamchatka Peninsula, erupted just after midnight and reached its climax six hours later, sending out a cloud of ash over an area of 108,000 square kilometres, according to the Kamchatka Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Geophysical Survey.
