The Shiveluch volcano erupted in Russia after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck the country's eastern coast, according to state-run media TASS.

TASS reported locally this Sunday morning, "According to visual assessments, the ash column rises to eight kilometers (five miles) above sea level," adding that the volcano has unleashed a plume of lava, and there are no reports of injuries.

The Shiveluch volcano is located about 280 miles from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, a coastal city with a population of around 181,000, situated in the eastern region of Russia in Kamchatka.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the earthquake's epicenter was about 55 miles from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and was at a depth of about 30 miles.

The earthquake did not cause significant damage; however, TASS reported, "Buildings are now being inspected for potential damage, with special attention being paid to social facilities."

TASS noted that the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations did not issue a tsunami warning due to the tremor.

Earlier, the U.S. tsunami warning system warned that "dangerous tsunami waves from this earthquake are possible up to 300 km from the epicenter along the coasts of Russia."
