One South Korean citizen has reportedly been out of contact after a strong tsunami triggered by a magnitude-7.5 earthquake hit a coastal Indonesian city, officials here said Saturday.
According to the South Korean community and related authorities, a South Korean paragliding official, identified only by his surname Lee, was staying in Palu on Sulawesi Island when the region was struck by a powerful earthquake on Friday.
Lee came to Palu on Monday with six Indonesians to take part in a paragliding event, officials said.
