The eruption from Russia's Krasheninnikov volcano after around 600 years was seen from space in a picture released by Roscosmos. The Kamchatka department of the Russian emergencies ministry said plumes of ash rose to altitude of 6 kilometres. "The column of ash is spreading eastward and towards the Pacific Ocean. There are no populated areas on its way," officials said.
