Indonesia was rocked by a powerful magnitude 7.7 earthquake near Flores Island. The epicenter was located about 30 kilometers northeast of Mbay, with the quake striking at a shallow depth of around 15 kilometers. Strong tremors were felt across several areas of East Nusa Tenggara, forcing residents to flee buildings. Numerous aftershocks followed, with some exceeding magnitude 5.0. The earthquake damaged buildings, triggered landslides, and disrupted travel on some roads. Authorities temporarily issued a tsunami warning for coastal areas, but later canceled it. Emergency crews are assessing the damage, while seismologists closely monitor further seismic activity.
