A 5.6-magnitude earthquake killed at least 162 people and injured hundreds on Indonesia’s main island on Monday. Terrified residents fled into the street, some covered in blood. Many of the dead were public-school students who had finished their classes for the day and were taking extra lessons at Islamic schools when they collapsed, West Java governor Ridwan Kamil said. Hospitals were overwhelmed by injured people, and the toll was expected to rise further. Kamil said houses of over 13,000 people were damaged.
