A man has been rescued by the Indian navy 25 days after being thrown by the Indian Ocean tsunami on a remote island in the Andaman and Nicobar islands.
Michael Mangal was first sucked into the sea and then thrown back onto the shore where he survived on coconuts.
The Nicobarese tribesman is said to be exhausted but only slightly injured.
At least 1,894 people were killed by the 26 December earthquake and tsunami in the Andaman and Nicobar islands and more than 5,500 are missing.
Michael Mangal was spotted on the tiny island of Pillow Panja on Friday, the navy said.
"He was in his underwear and had used his clothes to make the flag," navy spokesman Salil Mehta told French news agency AFP. "He was exhausted and weak when the rescue team brought him back to Port Blair," Mr Mehta said.
