DISASTER WARNING: Volcano ERUPTS in Russia / WYNKnews
A Russian volcano began erupting late on Tuesday, the Interfax news agency reported.
Plosky Tolbachik, in Russia's Far Eastern Kamchatka Peninsula, erupted Tuesday evening for the first time since 1976, spewing a column of ash seven kilometers into the atmosphere.
The volcanic ash cloud drifted toward northwest while the lava flowing down the volcano's southern slope.
The ash fell in the villages of Maiskoye and Krasny Yar, forming a ash layer of about four centimeters.
