At least 408 dead in Indonesia after quake, tsunami
  • 6 years ago
Strong aftershocks have continued to hit the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, where a tsunami and a seven-point-five magnitude quake have led to at least 408 deaths and injured five-hundred.
Search operations continue for those thought to be trapped under the debris of collapsed buildings in the city of Palu, the closest to the epicenter.
Tsunami waves are believed to have been as high as six meters there... and they continued to hit the city even after the tsunami warning was lifted.
The airport in Palu is closed because of damage to the runway caused by the quake.
The South Korean embassy in Indonesia said it's trying to locate one South Korean national who was in the region.
Finding the unnamed person is proving to be difficult due to power outages and downed telecomunications.
