At least 43 people have been killed and 584 injured after a tsunami hit the coast around Indonesia's Sunda Strait, officials said. The country's disaster management agency says two people are missing, and hundreds of buildings were damaged.
Quoting officials, the BBC reported on Sunday that the possible cause of the tsunami was undersea landslides after the Krakatoa volcano erupted. The Sunda Strait between the islands of Java and Sumatra connects the Java Sea to the Indian Ocean. The deaths were reported in the Pandeglang, South Lampung and Serang regions.
