Krasheninnikov volcano has erupted on Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula. This is the second volcano to erupt in the region following the magnitude 8.8 megaquake on July 30.

Officials believe a volcano that erupted in Russia after hundreds of years may be connected to a huge earthquake last week. See video and photos.

Ash columns of up to 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) spewed from the Krasheninnikov volcano on Monday, according to the Russian Emergency Ministry. The volcano emitting stones and ash was captured on a video filmed in the Kronotsky Nature Reserve.
