The death toll following the tsunami caused by the Anak Krakatau volcano in Indonesia has risen to at least 429, the disaster mitigation agency says, the BBC reports.
On Saturday giant waves crashed into coastal towns on the islands of Sumatra and Java.
It is thought that volcanic activity set off undersea landslides which in turn generated the killer waves.
About 150 people are still missing, while more than 16,000 have been displaced, the agency says.
Coastal residents near the volcano have been warned to keep away from beaches amid fears it could trigger a new tsunami.
Anak Krakatau erupted again on Sunday, spewing ash and smoke.
