Death toll from an earthquake that hit Indonesia's island of Java this week rises to 321 as rescuers found more bodies
The devastating earthquake also displaced 73,693 people while 56,311 houses and buildings were damaged.
Disaster mitigation agency chief Suharyanto, who like many Indonesians uses only one name, told a news briefing on Sunday that rescuers found three more bodies. Eight were found on Saturday. The shallow 5.6-magnitude earthquake hit the West Java town of Cianjur on Monday, where most of the victims were killed as buildings collapsed or landslides were triggered.
The quake damaged more than 62,000 houses and forced more than 73,000 people to evacuate to at least 325 shelters, Suharyanto said.
