At least 46 people have been killed following an earthquake in Indonesia.
Around 700 people have also been injured in the 5.6 magnitude quake.
The number of fatalities could rise even further, Herman Suherman, a district official from Cianjur, told Kompas TV – with evacuation efforts being hampered by landslides in some places.
Some areas are currently cut off.
The earthquake hit in the Cianjur region in West Java province at a depth of 6.2 miles, according to the US Geological Survey.
Dozens of buildings were damaged and residents in the capital city of Jakarta fled into the streets for safety.
