According to her, there is currently a powerful steam-gas emission with a small amount of ash.

“The ash cloud of the night eruption is already located north of Magadan at a distance of more than 800 kilometers from the volcano,” Jirina said.

She added that the highest, “red” aviation hazard code was set for the volcano.

Earlier it was reported that the volcano Bezymyanny in the Kamchatka region threw a column of ash to an altitude of six thousand meters above sea level.
