A tsunami following a volcanic eruption in Indonesia claimed at least 168 lives, said local authorities on December 23.
Representative of the Indonesian national disaster mitigation agency said 745 people were wounded and 30 others remain missing.
Dozens of buildings were destroyed by the wave, which hit beaches in South Sumatra and the western tip of Java about 9.30 pm local time on December 22, following a volcano eruption.
The disaster caused severe impacts to areas surrounding Sunda Strait, including beaches in Pangegland, Serang and South Lampung.
Authorities say the tsunami may have been triggered by an abnormal tidal surge due to a new moon and an underwater landslide following the eruption of Anak Krakatoa, which forms a small island in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra.
