At least 43 people were killed in the tsunami that struck Sunda Strait, an official from Indonesia's National Disaster Mitigation Agency said on Sunday.
Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, the head of public relations at Indonesia's National Disaster Mitigation Agency, tweeted that 43 people died, 584 sustained injuries and two people are said to be missing.
Furthermore, Nugroho said 430 houses were damaged, while nine hotels and ten vehicles were heavily damaged in the calamity.
It is speculated that the tsunami was caused by activity around a volcanic island in the strait, Krakatoa, which is 156km west of the Indonesian capital of Jakarta.
