A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck off Indonesia, damaging buildings and sending people running for safety as the shaking was caught on camera in Maumere.
Dramatic footage from Maumere captures the moment a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck off Indonesia on Saturday. People can be seen running for safety as the ground shakes, while part of the terminal building at Lorens Say Port collapses. The earthquake struck the Flores region early Saturday, killing at least 20 people and damaging buildings and homes.
Authorities said six people were injured and two remained missing after a landslide triggered by the quake. The initial earthquake was followed by several aftershocks. A tsunami warning issued for parts of eastern Indonesia was later lifted after no significant changes in sea levels were detected.
