Volcanic ash covers villages in the Kamchatka region in Russia after the Shiveluch volcano erupted, spewing clouds of dust into the sky.
A volcano erupted early Tuesday on Russia's far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula, spewing clouds of dust 20 kilometers into the sky and covering broad areas with ash.
Officials closed the skies over the area to aircraft. Local authorities advised residents to stay indoors and shut schools in several affected communities. Two villages had their power supplies cut for a few hours until emergency crews restored them. The village of Klyuchi, which is located about 50 kilometers from the volcano, was covered by an 8-centimeter layer of dust. Residents posted videos showing the ash cloud plunging the area into darkness.
