Russian volcano erupts days after monster quake shakes region

This photo taken from video by Artem Sheldr shows an aerial view of the eruption of the Krasheninnikov volcano of the Eastern volcanic belt, about 200 km (125 miles) northeast of the regional center of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia far east, Sunday, Aug. 3, 2025.

The volcano may have been primed to erupt before the magnitude 8.8 quake pushed it over the edge.
