This was reported by the Kamchatka branch of the Unified Geophysical Service of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the Telegram channel. The descent of hot debris avalanches on the southeastern slope was recorded by a camera installed at the Kamchatka branch seismic station "Bezymyanny-Griva" between 21:00 and 22:00 local time (12:00 and 13:00 Moscow time) on April 13. Earlier, the Kamchatka branch reported that the height of the ash plume over Bezymyanny increased from 5 to 6 km. An orange code is in effect in the area of ​​the volcano, indicating a danger to local air travel. Bezymyanny volcano, located approximately 40 km from the village of Klyuchi in the Ust-Kamchatsky district and 350 km from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, increased its activity on the morning of April 12. Experts are recording a continuous descent of debris and ash avalanches. "The thermal cloud extended north-northeast from the volcano. Ash deposits covered the Kamen and Klyuchevskoy volcanoes," the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences reported on its Telegram channel. Bezymyanny volcano, 2882 m above sea level, is part of the Klyuchevskaya group along with three other active volcanoes: Klyuchevskoy, Dalniy Plosky and Plosky Tolbachik. The group also includes nine extinct volcanoes. Earlier, experts predicted a powerful eruption of Bezymyanny. Presumably, at the culmination stage, the volcano could throw ash to a height of 15 km. As reported by the Regnum news agency, on July 25, 2024, Bezymyanny ejected a column of ash to a height of 12 km. The plume stretched for 300 km. Due to the explosive eruption of the volcano, the tourist route "Around Tolbachik" in the Klyuchevsky Nature Park was closed.
