One of Russia's most active volcanoes has erupted, with a vast cloud of ash rising into the sky and smothering villages.

The eruption triggered an aviation warning around the county's far-eastern Kamchatka peninsula.

Shiveluch volcano erupted just after midnight local time, reaching a crescendo about six hours later.

Villages have been carpeted in grey ash as deep as 8.5cm amid warnings of mud slides.
