A volcano on Russia's Far Eastern Kamchatka Peninsula erupted Thursday, sending an ash cloud to an altitude of almost 7 miles, officials said.

Two earthquakes were registered at the volcano over the past 24 hours, which was given a Red Aviation Code under the U.S. Geological Survey Volcano Hazards Program.

A Red Aviation Code is given when an eruption is under way with significant emission of volcanic ash into the atmosphere.

The 10,770-foot Shiveluch, Kamchatka's northernmost active volcano, has been active for more than four weeks.
