JAKARTA, Sept 28 (Reuters) - A tsunami up to two meters high hit a small city on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi on Friday after a major 7.5 quake struck offshore, collapsing buildings and washing a vessel ashore, but officials could provide no information on casualties.
Officials hope to be able to gauge the scale of the damage at daybreak after the strongest of a series of earthquakes that continued late into the evening.More than 600,000 people live in Palu and Donggala.
Indonesia sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire and is regularly hit by earthquakes.
