  "summary": "A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 7.7 struck off the coast of Indonesia early on Saturday. According to The Korea Times, the quake hit Indonesia's Flores region with a depth of 10 kilometers at 5:58 a.m. Indonesia time, 68 kms north-northwest of the city of Ende in East Nusa Tenggara province.\n\nThe quake triggered a tsunami warning from Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency, which urged residents to stay away from beaches and riverbanks. The agency located the shallow undersea quake near Flores island.\n\nThe Vibes reported that tsunami waves of less than 1 metre were recorded in several areas, and an alert was issued for waves ranging from 0.5m to 3m. There have been no immediate reports of casualties. The earthquake was followed by at least two aftershocks, including one with a magnitude of 6.1.",
