A strong tsunami triggered by a magnitude 7.5 earthquake has hit a coastal Indonesian city this morning.
Waves of up to 2m high swept through Palu on Sulawesi island, not long after authorities had lifted a tsunami warning.
Videos on social media show people screaming and fleeing in panic and a mosque amongst the buildings damaged.
BBC news have stated that officials have reported five deaths but it is not clear if those were as a result of the tsunami.
Indonesia is prone to earthquakes because it lies on the Ring of Fire which is in the line of frequent quakes and volcanic eruptions that circles virtually the entire Pacific rim.
More than half of the world's active volcanoes above sea level are part of the ring.
