President sends condolences following deadly tsunami in Indonesia

President Shavkat Mirziyoyev expressed his deep condolences to President Joko Widodo and the people of Indonesia in connection with numerous human casualties resulting from the strong tsunami on the shores of Indonesia, the presidential press service said.

A tsunami struck areas of the Sundra Strait separating the islands of Java and Sumatra late on Saturday. A spokesman for Indonesia’s disaster agency said the tsunami might have been caused by the recent Krakatoa eruption. According to the latest data, the death toll from the tsunami reached 222. A total of 843 people were hurt and 28 more are reported missing.
