38 Dead After 7.7 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Off Indonesia
At least 38 people have been killed after a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Indonesia’s Flores Island early Saturday, causing widespread damage, triggering landslides and forcing thousands of people to evacuate. A tsunami warning issued shortly after the quake was later lifted.
 
Indonesia’s National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) said around 2,000 people in Nagekeo Regency were evacuated as a precaution. Authorities are continuing search-and-rescue operations and assessing the extent of the damage.
