Indonesia Earthquake Causes Higher Deaths and Airport Damage
Reports indicate that a strong earthquake measuring 7.7 magnitude struck the East Nusa Tenggara region in Indonesia, resulting in at least 47 deaths, with dozens injured and the death toll expected to rise. So far, 38 bodies have been recovered from the most affected areas. The earthquake also caused landslides, destruction of health centers, airports, and damage to the ports of Rio and Maumere. Although tsunami warnings were issued, they were later lifted after it was confirmed that there was no threat from rising sea levels. Two aftershocks were recorded following the quake, and residents were advised to stay in higher ground areas. The landslides led to approximately two thousand people fleeing their homes.
