On the morning of April 11th, 2023, the Shiveluch volcano in Kamchatka, Russia, erupted, and the event was captured on video. The ash cloud that resulted from the eruption blanketed several villages in the Ust-Kamchatsky District, including Klyuchi and Kozirevsk.

According to reports, the sky within a radius of several dozen kilometers of the volcano was covered with an ash cloud, which caused a loud rumble that could be heard throughout the region. The cloud also caused an electrical charge, which resulted in thunderous sounds.

Residents of Klyuchi and the nearby village of Mayskoye reported experiencing ash fall, which can cause respiratory problems and damage crops. The ash can also disrupt flights and cause transportation delays.

The Shiveluch volcano is one of the most active in Kamchatka, and its eruptions have been documented for centuries. It is part of the larger Klyuchevskoy volcano group and is located in the northern part of the Kamchatka Peninsula.
