周六早些时候，一场7.7级强震袭击印尼沿海地区，造成建筑和房屋倒塌，至少20人遇难，并在这个频发致命地震的地区引发恐慌。
当局发布了海啸预警，敦促沿海居民前往高地，不过后来印尼气象、气候与地球物理局表示，监测显示不存在对沿海社区构成威胁的显著海平面变化，因此解除了预警。
美国地质调查局表示，此次地震于当地时间凌晨5点58分在印尼弗洛勒斯地区海域发生，震中位于东努沙登加拉省恩德市北北西北方向42英里处。主震发生后，还发生了数次余震。
东努沙登加拉省警察厅长鲁迪·达尔莫科表示，初步报告显示，锡卡县有2人遇难，曼格赖县有3人遇难。地震造成严重破坏和房屋倒塌，各地城乡停电阻碍了信息流通，也给搜救工作带来了困难。
“我们正在持续收集损失和伤亡报告，但目前仍存在通信中断问题，”达尔莫科说道。
当地电视台的画面显示，多所医院的患者在震后被紧急疏散出大楼，医院工作人员将病床、输液架和氧气瓶等设备移至室外，并搭建临时诊疗区域以应对紧急情况。
锡卡县居民约安娜·恩布表示，强烈震动导致多栋建筑受损，惊慌的民众纷纷逃往高地。
“当地很多建筑都受损了……我看到毛梅雷港口码头的候车室已经倒塌，”她说道。
弗洛勒斯岛以天主教徒居多，当地知名的里塔皮雷特神学院院长吉维尔贝图斯·唐加神父表示，锡卡圣彼得大修院的学生当时正在参加晨间弥撒，当一座集会大厅的屋顶坍塌时，众人惊慌逃窜。
“我们的学生和修女们在坍塌的屋顶下惊慌跑出，”唐加说道，“至少有一名神父在地震时从二楼建筑跳下后腿部骨折。”
据报道，此次地震还在邻近的西努沙登加拉省的比马市引发恐慌，苏拉威西岛南部部分地区也出现了建筑受损情况。
At least 20 killed after powerful 7.7 earthquake strikes Indonesia, triggers tsunami warning

A powerful magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck off the coast of Indonesia early Saturday, collapsing buildings and homes, killing at least 20 people and causing panic in a region prone to deadly quakes.
Authorities issued a tsunami warning and urged coastal residents to move to higher ground, but later lifted the warning when Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency said monitoring showed no significant sea-level changes that would pose a threat to coastal communities.
The U.S Geological Survey said the quake hit Indonesia’s Flores region at 5:58 a.m. local time. Its epicenter was 42 miles north-northwest of the city of Ende in East Nusa Tenggara province. The initial quake was followed by several aftershocks.

East Nusa Tenggara police chief Rudi Darmoko said preliminary reports indicate two fatalities in Sikka Regency and three in Manggarai Regency as the earthquake caused severe damage and collapsed buildings. He said power outages in cities and villages have hampered the flow of information and complicated search and rescue efforts.
“We are continuing to collect reports of damages and casualties, but there are communication disruptions,” Darmoko said.
Footage on local television showed patients at several hospitals being evacuated from buildings as a precaution following the quake. Hospital staff moved equipment outdoors, including beds, IV stands and oxygen cylinders, and set up temporary treatment areas to adapt to emergency conditions.
Yohanna Embu, a resident of Sikka regency, said a number of buildings were damaged by the strong shaking and panicked people ran to higher ground.

“Many buildings here were damaged … I saw that the waiting room at the port terminal in Maumere had collapsed,” she said.
Students at St. Peter Major Seminary in Sikka who were attending morning Mass fled in panic when the roof of an assembly hall collapsed, said the Rev. Guidelbertus Tanga, rector of the seminary, which is known locally as Ritapiret Seminary on the predominantly Catholic island of Flores.
“Our students and nuns ran out in panic beneath a collapsing roof,” Tanga said. “At least one priest suffered a broken leg after jumping from the second floor of a building during the quake.”
The quake also reportedly caused panic in Bima, a city in neighboring West Nusa Tenggara province. There were also damages reported in some part of southern Sulawesi island.
