Volcano erupts in Russia after 7.0 magnitude earthquake, sending ash column 5 miles high

(CNN) — Russia’s Shiveluch volcano has erupted following a 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck off the eastern coast of the country, according to state-run media outlet TASS.

“According to visual evaluations, the ash column is rising as high as 8 kilometers (5 miles) above the sea level,” TASS reported Sunday morning local time, adding the volcano had released a gush of lava.
There are no reports of people injured, TASS said.

The Shiveluch volcano is around 280 miles from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, a coastal city with a population of about 181,000 that lies in Russia’s eastern region of Kamchatka.
