A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Indonesia's Flores Island on Saturday, causing structural damage to university buildings, residential homes, and public infrastructure across East Nusa Tenggara province. Video footage captured in the town of Ruteng showed destruction at the UNIKA Ruteng-Manggarai campus following the shallow undersea tremor, which hit at a depth of 10 kilometers. Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) issued a tsunami warning for coastal regions of East Nusa Tenggara, South Sulawesi, and West Nusa Tenggara, prompting authorities to urge residents along beaches and riverbanks to evacuate immediately to higher ground as multiple aftershocks continued to shake the region.
