Moscow, June 8 (Petra) -- Russia's Ministry of Emergency Situations on Monday declared a maximum aviation emergency alert in the country's Far East following the eruption of Mount Shiveluch on the Kamchatka Peninsula and surrounding areas, warning that another explosive eruption could occur in the coming days.
The ministry stated in a press release: "The ash cloud resulting from the Shiveluch eruption has spread 50 kilometers from the crater, while lava flows have moved eastward toward the Bering Sea. Consequently, a maximum aviation alert and a total no-fly zone have been declared in the affected region." The ministry added that safety warnings have been issued and authorities are evaluating potential evacuation plans for residents should the situation demand it.
