#AceBreakingNews – One of Russia’s most active volcanoes has erupted, shooting a vast cloud of ash into the sky that smothered villages in layers of grey dust and triggered an aviation warning

The Shiveluch volcano — on the far eastern Kamchatka peninsula — erupted just after midnight, reaching a crescendo about six hours later, and spewing out an ash cloud over an area of 108,000 square kilometres, according to the Kamchatka Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Geophysical Survey.

Lava flows tumbled from the volcano, melting snow and prompting a warning of mud flows along a nearby highway while villages were carpeted in drifts of grey ash as deep as 8.5 centimetres, the deepest in 60 years.

Pictures showed the cloud billowing swiftly over the forests and rivers of the far east and of villages covered in ash.

“The ash reached 20 kilometres high, the ash cloud moved westwards and there was a very strong fall of ash on nearby villages,” Danila Chebrov, director of the Kamchatka branch of the Geophysical Survey, said.

“The volcano was preparing for this for at least a year… and the process is continuing though it has calmed a little now,” Mr Chebrov said.

About 300,000 people live on Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula, which juts into the Pacific Ocean north-east of Japan.

The volcano, one of Kamchatka’s largest and most active, would probably calm now, Mr Chebrov said, though he cautioned that further major ash clouds could not be excluded.

Mr Chebrov said the lava flows should not reach local villages.

There were no immediate reports of casualties, though scientists said the volcano was still erupting 15 hours after the start of the eruption.

Warning to international flights 

The Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team issued a red notice for aviation, saying “ongoing activity could affect international and low-flying aircraft”.

Some schools on the peninsula, about 6,800 km east of Moscow, were closed and residents ordered to stay indoors, head of the Ust-Kamchatsky municipal region Oleg Bondarenko said in a Telegram post.

“Because what I have just seen here with my own eyes, it will be impossible for children to go to school, and in general, the presence of children here is questionable,” Mr Bondarenko said.

He said residents’ power had been restored and drinking water was being supplied.A number of schools have been shut and people advised to stay home in the Kamchatka peninsula. (Supplied: Michael Dalton-Smith)none

Shiveluch has had an estimated 60 substantial eruptions in the past 10,000 years, the last major one being in 2007.

The volcano has two main parts, the smaller of which —  Young Shiveluch — scientists have reported as being extremely active in recent months, with a peak of 2,800 metres that protrudes out of the 3,283 metre-high Old Shiveluch.
