Indonesia Earthquake Leaves 53 Dead | Virginia Beach News

A devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck eastern Indonesia, killing 53 and leaving thousands homeless as aftershocks keep people sleeping outside. Landslides blocked roads, cut off villages, and hampered rescue efforts, while officials scramble to reach survivors buried under rubble. Tsunami warnings were issued but later canceled. In tourist spots like Labuan Bajo, locals huddled in tents fearing collapse. Nearly 1,000 aftershocks rattled the region — though only a fraction were felt. Over 135 injured, key highways severed, and relief is slow to reach remote areas. Indonesia, sitting on the Ring of Fire, remains vulnerable to such disasters.
