Russian volcano erupts for first time in more than 500 years
Russian volcano erupts for first time in more than 500 years 3 August 2025 Share Save Adam Durbin BBC News Share Save Watch: Huge plumes of smoke could be seen rising from the volcano A volcano in far eastern Russia has erupted for the first time in more than 500 years, which experts say may be linked to last week's massive earthquake. The Krasheninnikov Volcano in Kamchatka threw up an ash plume up to six kilometres (3. 7 miles) high overnight. There are no threats to populated areas, Russia's emergency ministry said. Hours later, another large earthquake in Russia led to tsunami warnings in three areas of the peninsula. Both events may be connected to a massive 8. 8 magnitude earthquake which hit a similar area last week, which caused tsunami warnings as far away as French Polynesia and Chile. Institute of Volcanology and Seismology Russian news agency RIA published pictures of the huge ash plume above the Krasheninnikov Volcano, following the eruption overnight

About Truth Blocks

Truth blocks are minimal argument units that represent atomic reasoning. Each block is analyzed independently for:

  • Truth Score: Factual accuracy (0-1)
  • Reasoning Types: Deductive, inductive, etc.
  • Logical Fallacies: Detected reasoning errors
  • Confidence: AI certainty in analysis

The weighted score combines truth score with reasoning quality and fallacy penalties according to our scoring criteria.
