JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia will install a third tsunami detection buoy off the coast of earthquake-prone Sumatra, an official said on Wednesday, after a strong quake killed more than 20 people and damaged thousands of homes there last week.
The government decided to set up a warning system after a huge earthquake in December 2004 off Sumatra triggered a devastating tsunami in the Indian Ocean. More than 230,000 people in the region were killed or went missing, including 170,000 Indonesians.
