The terrifying moment a tsunami tore through an Indonesian pop music concert late on Saturday night has been captured in dramatic footage.

At least 113 people have been killed by the tsunami, caused by a volcanic eruption, and the Tanjung Lesung Beach Resort in the province of Banten was one of the coastal locations which fell victim to the vicious wave.

The band Seventeen were playing a set when the tsunami struck in the Sunda Strait, between the islands of Java and Sumatra, sending a five-metre wall of water surging through the beach venue.

Confronting footage taken from the crowd shows dozens of people sitting at tables enjoying the concert.

The stage suddenly collapses and people can be heard screaming as they flee the oncoming wave, which swallows the band on stage in a split second.

Members of the band have now been reported missing by their lead singer.

Following the tsunami, the group's lead singer Riefian Fajarsyah posted on Instagram asking for prayers.

'We lost our bassist, Bani and our manager Oki,' he said tearfully in an accompanying video.

The wave hit beaches around the Sunda Strait at about 9.30pm on Saturday, destroying 430 houses, nine hotels and 10 ships.

The country's Disaster Mitigation Agency confirmed around 600 people have been injured.

Officials are concerned the number of fatalities could rise amid search and rescue operations.

Victims of the death toll of 113 are spread throughout the Pandeglang, South Lampung and Serang regions.

A tsunami alert was issued and people in low-lying areas fled to higher ground.

Indonesian officials believe the tsunami was caused by an eruption on nearby Krakatoa, which has been spewing volcanic ash into the air.

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology has been monitoring the situation and has issued a red warning to airline pilots operating in the region that an ash cloud is spreading south west from the volcano to an altitude of 55,000 feet.

Survivors of the Indonesian tsunami which killed at least 113 and injured a further 600 sheltered in a mosque after they evacuated to higher ground in case of further flooding

More than 600 people have reportedly been injured as a result of the tsunami which hit late on Saturday night

It is believed the tsunami was caused by an undersea landslide following the eruption of the Krakatoa volcano. The wave hit beaches on the Sunda Strait - between the islands of Java and Sumatra.

Indonesian authorities said 430 houses have been badly damaged as well as nine hotels. The wave also badly damaged ten ships with dozens others needing repair.

In September, at least 832 people were killed by a quake and tsunami that hit the city of Palu on the island of Sulawesi, which is just east of Borneo.

A volcanic eruption in Krakatoa in 1883 was one of the deadliest in recorded history killing more than 36,000 people.

A video circulating on Twitter shows a two-foot high wave washing ashore. Later photographs show cars overturned and buildings destroyed.

However, local media said Indonesian authorities warned coastal areas could be hit by 7-foot high waves.

The Meteorology and Geophysics agency in a separate statement said it could have been caused by undersea landslides from the eruption of Anak Krakatau, a volcanic island formed over years from the nearby Krakatau volcano. It also cited tidal waves caused by the full moon.

The number of victims is likely to increase because not all affected areas have been assessed, said disaster agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho.

Initial reports suggest that hundreds of homes could have been destroyed by the powerful wave which struck last night

One witness, Øystein Lund Andersen wrote on Facebook: 'I had to run, as the wave passed the beach and landed 15-20m (meters) inland. Next wave entered the hotel area where i was staying and downed cars on the road behind it' (pictured residents evacuate from damaged homes on Carita beach)

Hundreds of buildings were destroyed by the wave (pictured damage is inspected on Carita Beach), which hit beaches without warning in South Sumatra and the western tip of Java about 9.30 pm local time

One witness, Øystein Lund Andersen wrote on Facebook: 'I had to run, as the wave passed the beach and landed 15-20m (meters) inland. Next wave entered the hotel area where i was staying and downed cars on the road behind it. Managed to evacuate with my family to higher ground trough forest paths and villages, where we are taken care of (by) the locals. Were unharmed, thankfully.'

He said he had been taking photographs of the eruption on Krakatoa when the wave struck.

He added: 'So encountered my first tsunami it seems, hopefully my last.'
