At least 20 people were killed when a tsunami barreled onto beaches around the Sunda Strait in Indonesia on Saturday night, according to a Sunday statement from the Indonesian Disaster Mitigation Agency.
According to the agency, at least 165 were injured and at least 2 people remain missing.
According to local media outlets citing eyewitnesses, the recent tsunami may have been caused by an eruption of the Krakatau volcano.
The Sunda Strait, between the islands of Java and Sumatra, connects the Java Sea to the Indian Ocean. In September, at least 832 people were killed by a quake and tsunami that hit the city of Palu on the island of Sulawesi, east of Borneo.
