One of Russia's most active volcanoes erupted early Tuesday spewing clouds of dust more than 65,000 feet into the sky. The Shiveluch volcano in the Kamchatka Krai region began erupting just after midnight, the Russian Academy of Sciences Geophysical Survey reported.
A video shared on Twitter by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs shows massive ash clouds rain down from the volcano. The footage showed the volcano in "full eruption mode," with the government account noting ash emissions had reached 12 miles high.

I love volcanoes
After all their talk of nuking Yellowstone. The Gods laugh at Russia.
Brilliant. Actually I am very proud of this little masterpiece.
Did they really want to nuke Montana??
@Juan I don’t know. I’m hoping not. Plus that won’t make yellowstone erupt by the way.
Shiveluch made me proud. The upside no injuries or deaths.
And your telling us why ?
god is not happy with russia
Its not Russia hes unhappy with its Putin
I notice it erupted the day AFTER he threatened to send nukes to Yellowstone, hoping to set off the supervolcano there.
Yeah this is God punishing Russia for attacking Ukraine karma at its finest I have a feeling this will hurt Russia badly to the point where they lose this war honesty good always wins in the end so divine intervention for Ukraine
Was putin near it by any chance
No, it was reported that Elensky was attempting to snort the ground thinking it was crack
