Russia today lifted a tsunami warning for the Kamchatka Peninsula after a 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit the nearby Kuril Islands. Residents were still advised to move away from the shore.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning System, which gauged the quake at 7.0, said there was no tsunami warning after the quake.
Overnight, the Krasheninnikov Volcano in Kamchatka erupted for the first time in 600 years.
The incidents may be connected to the huge earthquake that rocked Russia's Far East last week, triggering tsunami warnings as far away as French Polynesia and Chile.
It was followed by an eruption of Klyuchevskoy, the most active volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula.
The authorities on Kamchatka and the Kurils said they have been prepared for a major quake for a long time and acted quickly to protect the population.
