Kamchatka Volcano Blast: Crusheninicov volcano at Russia’s Kamchatka, Russia, exploded for the first time on 2 August 2025. Earlier on July 30, there were 8.8 magnitude and 6.8 magnitude earthquakes on 3 August. The ashes reached 6000 meters.
Ring of fire
The ‘Ring of Fire’ of the Pacific Ocean is the center of around 75% of the world’s active volcanoes and 90% of the major earthquakes. This includes India’s Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Russia volcano erupts: Crasninicov volcanic (Krasheninnikov Volcano) located in Russia, Russia, is first torn in 600 years. Russian government news agency RIA and scientists gave this information on Sunday. A 6.8 magnitude earthquake occurred in the Kuril Islands on Sunday near the Kamchatka Peninsula, located in the Far East, Russia. After this a tsunami warning was issued.
Explosion occurred in Crasninicov volcano due to Kamchatka Earthquake
The Pacific Tsunami Warning System measured the intensity of the earthquake 7.0. The US Geological Survey also stated that the earthquake was 7 intensity. The epicenter of the earthquake was located in the Kuril Island area, about 118km east from Severo-Kurilsk, Russia. Earlier on Wednesday, there was an 8.8 magnitude earthquake in the Kamchatka Peninsula. The explosion of the crushed volcano is being linked to this earthquake.

Rapid seismic activity near Kamchatka Peninsula
A fierce earthquake occurred due to acute seismic activity in the Kuril-Kampachtak subduction area in the Kamachaka Peninsula. Here the Pacific plate is penetrating at a speed of about 77–86 mm per year under the Okhotsk microplate (part of the North American plate complex). The region is one of the world’s most seismicly active subduction trenches. It is located within the “Ring of Fire” of the Pacific Ocean. The 8.8 magnitude earthquake on July 30 broke a large portion of 390km long and 140km wide fault. This was followed by many more earthquakes. In this sequence, there was a 6.8 magnitude earthquake on Sunday.
Crusheninicov volcanic ashes lifted up to 6000 meters
Craseninicov volcanic erupted on Saturday. Earthquake scientist Girina said on the Telegram Channel of the Institute of Volcanic Sciences and Earthquake Sciences that the last lava leakage of Krasheninikov took place within 40 years of 1463. There was no explosion in it since then. The Kamchatka branch of the Ministry of Emergency Services of Russia said that after the volcano exploded, a 6000 meter high ash has been seen. The height of the volcano is 1,856 meters. The cloud of ash is on the east side. It is swept away towards the Pacific Ocean. There is no populated area on its way.
