The death toll from a 7.7-magnitude earthquake off Indonesia’s Flores Island rose to 40 on Saturday, with 50 people injured as of 18:30 Jakarta time, Indonesia’s National Search and Rescue Agency said.

Suharyanto, head of Indonesia's National Disaster Management Agency, said about 2,000 residents had moved to nearby evacuation shelters.

Exclusive footage filmed by China Central Television (CCTV) in Maumere showed patients receiving treatment in makeshift beds and tents outside a hospital, while emergency responders cleared rubble from a damaged waiting area at Laurentius Say Port.

The China Earthquake Networks Center said the quake struck at 05:58 local time, at a depth of 20 km. It was felt across several towns on Flores Island, sending residents into the streets.

Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency reported several aftershocks of magnitude 5 or higher, including one measuring 6.2. A tsunami warning issued after the main quake was later lifted.

The Chinese Consulate General in Denpasar said three Chinese tourists suffered minor injuries while evacuating after the earthquake. One struck their head against a wall, while the other two suffered minor lower-back strains. All were in stable condition.

Indonesia sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, where earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are frequent.
