A volcano in Russia.

A volcano in Russia’s far east erupted on Wednesday (July 30, 2025), Russian scientists said, hours after a major quake prompted evacuations and tsunami alerts across parts of the Pacific coast. Eruptions of the Klyuchevskoy volcano – the highest active in Europe and Asia – are quite common, with at least 18 of them happening since 2000 according to the Smithsonian Institution’s Global Volcanism Program.
