Powerful 7.7-Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Eastern Indonesia, Killing at Least Five
A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck off Indonesia’s Flores Island early Saturday, killing at least five people and damaging homes and public buildings, according to Indonesian officials and international reports. The shallow earthquake triggered panic across East Nusa Tenggara and prompted thousands of residents to move toward higher ground after a tsunami warning was issued. The warning was lifted several hours later after only limited waves were recorded. Authorities are continuing rescue operations as powerful aftershocks shake the region.
