‘Child of Krakatoa': ‘Volcano' Tsunami Kills at Least 62 in Indonesia, Nearly 600 Injured
2018-12-23
[Breitbart] Carita (Indonesia) (AFP) ‐ At least 62 people have been killed and nearly 600 injured in a tsunami in Indonesia that may have been caused by a volcano known as the "child" of the legendary Krakatoa, officials said Sunday.
Hundreds of buildings were destroyed by the wave, which hit beaches without warning in South Sumatra and the western tip of Java about 9.30 pm local time (1430 GMT) on Saturday, national disaster agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said in a statement.

At least 43 people died and 584 people were injured across three regions.
