More than 200 people have lost their lives after a tsunami hit coastal areas of Indonesia’s Sunda Strait, government officials say.
Over 840 people were injured when the tsunami waves destroyed hundreds of buildings.
Four members of a boy band were killed when they were hit by the tsunami while playing onstage. The incident was caught on camera on Saturday evening.

Officials say the incident could have been caused by undersea landslides following the eruption of the Anak Krakatau volcano.
People have been warned to stay away from the coastline due to fears of more tsunamis.
The tsunami struck at around 9:30pm local time.
