The US Geological Survey said the quake hit at 5:58 am local time at a depth of 10 km, with its epicentre 68 km north-northwest of Ende in East Nusa Tenggara. Several aftershocks followed. Authorities initially issued a tsunami warning across parts of four provinces and urged coastal residents to move uphill and away from beaches and riverbanks. The Economic Times reports that officials later lifted the warning after detecting no dangerous sea-level changes. India Today and The Federal, in earlier reports, said there were no immediate casualty reports. Hospitals evacuated patients as a precaution, while damage was reported in Maumere and elsewhere on Flores. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in - thefederal.com - economictimes.indiatimes.com Tags: East Nusa Tenggara, Flores, Indonesia, Ring of Fire, US Geological Survey Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/7-7-magnitude-quake-off-flores-damages-homes-triggers-tsunami-warning/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
