Houses, hotels destroyed: Sunda Strait tsunami death toll reaches 43

Karina M. Tehusijarana
The Jakarta Post

The tsunami that hit the Sunda Strait on Saturday night has resulted in at least 43
fatalities, the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) reported on Sunday.
BNPB spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said that 43 people had been killed, while
584 others were injured and two were missing after a tsunami hit beaches in Banten
and Lampung.
Pandeglang regency in Banten was the worst-hit area with 33 dead and 491 injured.
Four hundred houses, nine hotels and 10 boats in the area were also badly damaged.
"When the incident occurred, there were many tourists visiting the beaches along
Pandeglang," Sutopo said in a statement.
He added that seven people died in South Lampung regency, while three people died
in Serang regency, Banten.
"Heavy machinery has been deployed to help in the evacuation and emergency
repairs," he said.
"Residents are urged not to conduct any activities along the beach at this time. The
BMKG [Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency] and the Geological
Agency are still conducting studies to ascertain the cause of the tsunami and the
probability of additional ones." However, it is strongly suspected that the tsunami
and high waves are caused due to landslides from Anak Gunung Krakatau. As it is
