[Regnum] The Klyuchevskoy volcano in Kamchatka erupted in ash to a height of up to eight kilometers. This was reported on August 15 by the Kamchatka Volcano Eruption Response Team ( KVERT ) of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
“Explosions raised ash from the Klyuchevskoy volcano 8 km above sea level,” says a message published on the Telegram channel.
It is noted that the ash plume stretched for 521 km in the east-northeast direction from the volcano. Klyuchevskaya's activity is considered dangerous for local and international flights, so the aviation color code "orange" was introduced.
On August 11, activity at Klyuchevskaya Sopka volcano in Kamchatka was reported to have decreased slightly but remained high, and eruptions continued. Explosions were throwing ash to heights of up to 8–9 km above sea level, and the ash cloud was spreading 280 km to the east-southeast of the volcano. The volcano's aviation hazard code was "red", the highest of all.
Earlier it was reported that in the villages of Klyuchi and Ust-Kamchatsk in Kamchatka Krai, after the volcanic eruption, the removal of volcanic ash began. The head of the Ust-Kamchatsky municipal district, Oleg Bondarenko, reminded that personal protective equipment (PPE) had been distributed to residents of the villages, and called on residents not to go outside without PPE, and not to allow children to be outdoors.
