**Kamchatka Volcano Erupts Hours After Major Earthquake**
**Moscow – July 30, 2025, 10:29 pm IST** – Russia’s far eastern Kamchatka region is experiencing a day of geological upheaval, with the Klyuchevskoy volcano erupting hours after a powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck offshore.
The Klyuchevskoy, the highest active volcano in Eurasia, is currently spewing red-hot lava down its western slope, accompanied by a powerful glow and explosions. “The Klyuchevskoy is erupting right now,” Russia’s Geophysical Survey announced on Telegram, alongside images of the fiery display. This eruption is not unprecedented, as the volcano has experienced at least 18 eruptions since 2000.
Earlier in the day, the massive earthquake triggered tsunami alerts across parts of the Pacific coast. While the tsunami warning was eventually lifted after 11 hours, the region remains on alert. Fortunately, the earthquake and subsequent tsunami spared the sparsely populated area, and no major damage or casualties have been reported. Similarly, past eruptions of Klyuchevskoy have not caused significant damage or injuries due to its distance from major population centers like Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsk.
Russian scientists are closely monitoring the situation as the volcano continues to erupt.
