At least 82 people were killed Tuesday and hundreds injured in a 6.3-magnitude earthquake that rocked Indonesia's Sumatra island, officials said.
"The toll won't stop rising because the quake happened in a relatively populated region," said Damien Personnaz, a spokesman for children's agency UNICEF, who gave the figure of 82 dead.
Two UNICEF teams are in Sumatra monitoring the situation.
Hundreds of others were injured, Rosmini Savitri, an official in the disaster zone, told AFP by phone.
"The number of people injured has become 257," she said.
