Tsunami hits Indonesia without damage
THE Indonesian meteorology and geophysics agency said on Friday a small tsunami set off by a massive quake in Japan reached Indonesia's eastern coastline without causing any damage.
"A tsunami of only 10 centimetres triggered by the earthquake in Japan was detected in the North Sulawesi and Maluku islands,'' the agency's official Rachmat said.
"We have just lifted the tsunami alert in Indonesia.''
At least 60 people were killed and 56 are missing in the massive 8.9-magnitude earthquake that hit Japan on Friday, unleashing huge tsunamis along its Pacific coast, police said.
