Residents of villages in eastern Indonesia were hit by a deadly 7.7-magnitude earthquake that killed at least 68 people, as rescuers searched collapsed buildings for people trapped beneath the rubble. The tremor cast a grim shadow over Indonesia’s Independence Day celebrations, while residents of East Nusa Tenggara were jolted by nearly 1,600 aftershocks. The country’s geophysics agency also reported a magnitude 5.6 earthquake in the region on the morning of August 17. The quake triggered landslides and blocked roads across Indonesia’s southernmost province. #indonesia🇮🇩 #earthquake #asia
