Indonesia earthquake death toll reaches 40
Report indicates that a powerful earthquake measuring 7.7 magnitude struck the coasts of Flores Island in Indonesia, resulting in at least 40 deaths and injuring 50 others. Thousands of residents were evacuated from coastal areas out of fear of a tsunami. A second earthquake with a magnitude of 6.9 was also recorded near Sumatra, causing no damage or casualties. The earthquake's epicenter was located at a shallow depth, 68 kilometers from Indii, part of the "Ring of Fire" region known for frequent seismic activity, making Indonesia one of the most quake and tsunami-prone areas. Two helicopters and an aircraft were used to assist rescue efforts, with people trapped inside some buildings. These tremors are part of a series of earthquakes that Indonesia has experienced since 2004, when massive quakes and tsunamis caused hundreds of thousands of victims.
