Milhares evacuadas após terremoto na Indonésia deixar 53 mortos; tremores secundários complicam resgate
A magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck off Indonesia's Flores island at 5:58 a.m. local time Saturday. At least two people were killed and two others injured.
- 68 km north-northwest of Ende, East Nusa Tenggara province, was the epicenter.
- 10 kilometers was the quake's depth, per the U.S. Geological Survey.
- A tsunami warning covering four provinces was issued, then lifted.
- Several aftershocks followed the initial quake.
Why it matters: Indonesia's location on the Ring of Fire makes it among the world's most earthquake-prone nations. Its more than 17,000 islands sit along an arc of fault lines and volcanoes.
- A 1992 quake on Flores triggered a tsunami that killed about 2,500 people.
