A volcano in far eastern Russia has erupted for the first time in more than 500 years, which experts say may be linked to last week's massive earthquake.
The Krasheninnikov Volcano in Kamchatka threw up ash plumes up to six kilometres high overnight.
Russia's Emergency Ministry says there are no threats to populated areas.
Hours later, another large earthquake in Russia led to tsunami warnings in three areas of the peninsula.
Both events may be connected to a massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake which hit a similar area last week, which caused tsunami warnings as far away as French Polynesia and Chile.
