A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Flores Island in eastern Indonesia early on Saturday, sending residents fleeing and prompting authorities to issue an urgent tsunami warning. The quake hit about 68 kilometres northwest of Ende, with strong aftershocks following, including a 6.1 magnitude tremor. Officials later lifted the tsunami alert, but emergency crews remain on high alert as they assess the full scale of the damage.
Authorities have confirmed at least two deaths and several injuries, with damaged homes and cracked buildings reported across parts of East Nusa Tenggara. Eyewitnesses described scenes of panic as people ran from markets, hospitals, and coastal communities to reach higher ground. Rescue teams have been deployed to search affected areas, while disaster agencies continue monitoring sea levels and aftershock activity.
Indonesia sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, making it one of the world’s most seismically active regions. This latest disaster has revived memories of some of the country’s deadliest earthquakes and tsunamis. In this video, we cover the latest updates from Flores Island, official statements, evacuation efforts, casualty reports, and what happens next as authorities continue their response.
