At Least 20 Dead After Powerful 7.7-Magnitude Earthquake Hits Indonesia
- A shallow, magnitude-7.7 earthquake struck off the coast of Flores Island in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, early Saturday morning.
- Search and rescue officials confirmed at least 20 deaths, six injuries, and two people trapped under rubble or mud across multiple regencies, including Sikka and Manggarai.
- Initial tsunami warnings triggered mass evacuations to higher ground, but alerts were lifted hours later after recorded sea-level changes remained under one meter.
- Ground shaking caused structural collapses, destroyed homes, damaged regional facilities—including a port terminal and airport ceiling—and left thousands without power.
- Emergency response efforts are facing significant delays due to earthquake-triggered landslides that cut off main transit routes, including the Trans-Flores highway.
