A tsunami crashed into beach resorts and fishing villages on the Indonesian island of Java today, killing at least 86 people, leaving scores more missing and sending thousands fleeing to higher ground, witnesses and officials said.
Regional agencies issued bulletins saying that a magnitude 7.7 earthquake that had struck beneath the Indian Ocean was strong enough to send a killer wave, 6ft high, hurtling toward Indonesia, the country worst hit by the 2004 tsunami. MORE ¶ 2:07 PM
