The ash discharge to a height of more than 12 km occurred from the Klyuchevskaya volcano in Kamchatka. This was announced on August 11 by the press service of the Main Directorate (GU) of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation in the Kamchatka Territory.

"On the morning of August 11, an ash discharge from the Klyuchevsky volcano was recorded at a height of up to 12 thousand meters with the height of the giant itself being 4.75 thousand meters," the ministry said.
