Klyuchevskoy Volcano yesterday evening ( Kamchatka is GMT +12hrs). Several volcanoes are active on the Kamchatka peninsular right now, something not seen since 1737. There’s a thermal anomaly at Mutnovsky, Krasheninnikov is erupting, and Klyuchevskoy is especially intense, with lava flows that could threaten the Petropavlovsk–Ust-Kamchatsk highway and even melt the Bogdanovich Glacier.

New video shows absolutely stunning footage of Krasheninnikov erupting after 600 years. On August 2, 2025, it recorded its first-ever eruption, with ash soaring up to 5-6 km high. Scientists believe it may be linked to the recent M8.8 earthquake. 📍 Kamchatka, Russia.

Just saw a report stating 0 casualties resulting from building damage or ground motions from the Kamchatka earthquake, if true that is very fortunate. It does not provide clarification on the result of the tsunami, though people were evacuated.

Дмитрий Песков о ситуации на Камчатке: Сейсмоустойчивость зданий себя оправдала, нет никаких жертв. Все системы оповещения своевременно сработали, из мест, где была угроза цунами, людей эвакуриовали Технологическая подготовленность себя оправдала и показала себя на высоком уровне
