Indonesia earthquake toll reaches 38
A 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Flores Island in Indonesia, resulting in the death of 38 people and damage to homes and building facades. There were warnings of tsunamis, which were later canceled after coastal areas were evacuated and sea levels monitored. The earthquake occurred at 5:58 a.m. at a depth of 10 kilometers off the northern coast of the island, followed by aftershocks reaching up to 6.1 in magnitude, causing panic and chaos among residents and patients. Indonesia is one of the most seismically active regions due to its location within the Pacific Ring of Fire, frequently experiencing earthquakes and tsunamis. A deadly earthquake in 2004, also in Indonesia, resulted in over 170,000 deaths.
