The Kamchatka Geophysical Survey of Russia Academy of Sciences (GCRAS) reported the eruption of the Ebeko volcano in the Russian Kuril Islands, spewing ash up to 3 km high.
The statement said that the eruption of the ash column was recorded Thursday morning, at an altitude of about 3 km above sea level.
The 1,156-meter-high Ebeko volcano is located on Paramushir Island, 7 km northeast of the Russian town of Severo-Kurilsk.
Ash emission incidents occur in it starting in 2016. The largest ash emission incident was recorded on Aug. 31, 2018, when a column of ash rose to 6 km from a new volcanic vent formed in 2017.
