A tsunami, reportedly triggered by an undersea landslide from the erupting Anak Krakatau volcano, devastated Indonesia's Sunda Strait, claiming at least 62 lives and injuring 600 others.
The powerful waves crashed 65 feet inland, demolishing hundreds of homes and hotels, with the Pandeglang region of Java experiencing the most severe impact.
The unexpected disaster swept away a pop band performing on a beach and caught tourists off guard during a holiday weekend, with 20 people still unaccounted for.
Scientists suggest the tsunami resulted from a flank collapse of Anak Krakatau, emphasizing the vulnerability of coastal developments to such volcanic events.

Uthenthawai students and alumni declare truce with Pathumwan rivals

Yesterday 20:34 Key points summarised by AI

Uthenthawai students and alumni have pledged to cease violent clashes with Pathumwan Institute rivals, coinciding with their campus's reopening after a 90-day closure.
The Minister of Higher Education is mediating the long-running conflict, while the campus closure has significantly disrupted in-person classes and laboratory work for over 1,000 students.
Uthenthawai resists relocation from its current site, citing a historical land grant from King Rama VI, despite Chulalongkorn University's plans to reclaim the land for an educational hub.
Concerns are mounting over the legality of the campus closure, its detrimental impact on uninvolved students, and the potential commercial development of the land, which critics argue contradicts the late King Rama VI's intentions.
