  "account": "Jakarta - As of Sunday, the death toll from the earthquake in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) has risen to 111, according to Berton SP Panjaitan, the Acting Head of the Data, Information, and Disaster Communication Center at the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB). No further deaths have been reported since the last data update. The number of injured victims stands at 1,631, with 223 suffering serious injuries and the remainder experiencing minor injuries. Approximately 188,161 people have been displaced, a decrease from the previous figure of 192,303. The highest concentration of displaced individuals is found in Nagekeo and Manggarai regencies, each hosting around 50,000 people. Around 95,567 housing units have been damaged in seven affected regencies. Preliminary data indicates that 27,414 homes have suffered severe damage, while 21,992 have experienced moderate damage, and 46,161 are considered minimally damaged. However, the BNPB emphasizes that the severity of the damage requires further verification. Since the main earthquake struck NTT on August 15, 2026, there have been approximately 9,756 aftershocks. The most significant aftershock measured 6.2 on the Richter scale, while the smallest was 1.0. While aftershock activity has been decreasing, Berton warns that they will persist for the next three to four weeks following the initial quake.",
