According to information from the Kamchatka Firefall Response Team (KVERT), the outbreak started at 2:50 am (local time), with ash columns up to 4km above sea level.
Officials said that the ash column had drifted eastward, heading towards the Pacific Ocean, but no residential area was on the path of the ash clouds and there were no reports of ash falling on residential areas.
Accordingly, the situation is assessed as not serious enough for local authorities to issue an orange warning.
Head of the Volcanoes Tremament Response Team, Ms. Olga Girina, said that this was the first confirmed volleyball in the 600-year history of Krasheninnikov volcano.
Girina added that the outbreak could be related to the earthquake that occurred on July 30. The earthquake triggered a Tsunami warning on the Polynesian side of France and Chile, followed by an outbreak by the Klyuchevskoy volcano - the most active volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula.
Krasheninnikov Volcanoe is located about 200km north of Petropavlovsk- Kamchatsky and 13km south of Kronotskoye Lake, part of Kamchatka's Eastern Fire Mountain Ring Road.
The regional arm of the Ministry of Emergency Situations had previously warned of the possibility of 6-10km of ash and dust from some other active volcanoes in Kamchatka. Residents and visitors are advised to avoid traveling within a 10km radius from the top of these volcanoes.
The outbreak came just days after an 8.8-magnitude earthquake near the Kamchatka Peninsula. The earthquake triggered a Tsunami warning and forced authorities to declare a state of emergency in parts of Kamchatka and Severo- Kurilsk District.
