The eruption occurred overnight, just hours prior to another significant earthquake, measuring 7.0 in magnitude, which struck the Kuril Islands. This tremor prompted tsunami warnings in three coastal areas of Kamchatka, although the reported wave heights are minor, with the emergency ministry advising residents to stay away from shorelines.

Expert geologists are examining potential correlations between the volcano's awakening and recent seismic activity, including the record 8.8 magnitude quake from last week. Olga Girina, leader of the Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team, remarked that the volcano had remained dormant since the 15th century.

Notably, the Kamchatka Peninsula, located in the "Pacific Ring of Fire," is known for its intense seismic and volcanic activity, making such events a critical aspect of its geological profile. Researchers continue to monitor the situation as further aftershocks and volcanic activity could unfold in the coming weeks.
