MOSCOW, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) — The Klyuchevskoy volcano in Russia's Kamchatka peninsula spewed ash twice Wednesday, the Russian news agency TASS reported.

The volcano first spewed ash for eight kilometers in the air, and the second one reached 11 kilometers in mid-air, it said.

According to the agency, volcanic plume is moving eastward, and its height is unknown.

Currently, the volcano continues to spew ash. Geophysicists have assigned the red danger level to the eruption. The volcano is being monitored round-the-clock with seismic stations and cameras.

The Russian Emergencies Ministry said there is no threat of ash falls in local settlements.

The Klyuchevskoy volcano has been erupting since April. Four lava flows are running down its slopes, and the lava is constantly fountaining in its crater.

The nearest settlement is located 30 kilometers away from the volcano's foot.
