PALU, Indonesia—More than 400 people were confirmed killed, many swept away as tsunami waves triggered by a massive earthquake crashed into the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, and authorities expected the toll to rise sharply on Sept. 30 as news arrives from remote areas.
Dozens of people were reported to be still trapped in the rubble of a hotel in the city of Palu, which was hit by waves as high as six meters (20 feet) following the 7.5 magnitude earthquake.
