Indonesia tsunami hits Sunda Strait after Krakatoa eruption

At least 168 people have been killed and 745 injured after a tsunami hit the coast on Indonesia's Sunda Strait, government officials say, BBC reported.
The country's disaster management agency says hundreds of buildings were damaged by Saturday's tsunami.
It says the possible cause of the tsunami was undersea landslides after the Krakatoa volcano erupted.
The strait, between the islands of Java and Sumatra, connects the Java Sea to the Indian Ocean.
The disaster management agency warned that the death toll after the tsunami, that struck at about 21:30 local time (14:30GMT) on Saturday, is likely to rise further.
Deaths have been reported in the Pandeglang, Lampung and Serang regions.
The BBC's Rebecca Henschke in Indonesia said there were reports that the death toll in Lampung province alone could be in the hundreds.
Footage shared on social media showed a large wave crashing into a tent in the resort, in which a popular Indonesian rock band, Seventeen, was performing. Members of the band were seen being swept away as the wave destroyed the stage.
In an Instagram video, singer Riefian Fajarsyah, said the band's bassist and road manager had died, and that three other band members and his own wife were missing.
The country's Red Cross said it was on the scene and searching for victims in the rubble of one collapsed building.
Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, national spokesman at Indonesia's disaster agency, tweeted footage of the damage in Lampung.

I was on the beach. I was alone, my family were sleeping in a room.
I was trying to photograph the erupting Krakatoa volcano.
Earlier in the evening, there was quite heavy eruption activity. But just prior to the waves hitting the beach, there was no activity at all. It was just dark out there.
And suddenly I saw this wave coming, and I had to run.
There were two waves. The first wave wasn't that strong - I could run from it.
