Five dead, unknown number missing as Indonesia hit by quake and tsunami
  • 6 years ago
A tsunami triggered by a magnitude seven-point-five earthquake has hit a city in Indonesia.
Officials in the city of Palu on Sulawesi island have reported five deaths, but it's not clear whether they died as a result of the tsunami or the quake.
The local disaster agency says houses have been swept away and families are missing so the death toll cause rise sharply.
Following the earthquake, several strong aftershocks, including one of magnitude six-point-seven, hit.
