Multiple studies demonstrate that volcanic activity, including magma reservoir inflation and subterranean dyke intrusions, significantly alters crustal stress fields and is fully capable of triggering major earthquakes.

Fault slip and Coulomb stress variations around a pressured magma reservoir: consequences on seismicity and magma intrusion
2006 · cited by 18
Demonstrates through numerical models how pressure variations in a magma reservoir alter Coulomb failure stress and directly induce normal and reverse slip on faults.

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently supports the premise that volcanic processes (magma accumulation, movement, and reservoir inflation) alter local stress fields and cause substantial volcano-tectonic earthquakes, matching the claim.
