- According to the US Geological Survey, the earthquake occurred around 6 a.m. local time about 68 kilometers northwest of Ende in East Nusa Tenggara province.
- BNPB reported at least 14 deaths while the full toll was still being assessed; an initial tsunami warning was later lifted, and waves up to 1 meter high were recorded in Maurole, Ende.
- BNPB said health care facilities, schools, government offices and more than 50 homes were damaged, and a series of aftershocks followed.
- About 2,000 residents of Nagekeo regency evacuated as a precaution, while BNPB deployed a helicopter and its emergency response team because the island landscape makes access difficult.
Although I have experienced several earthquakes on Flores island before, this was by far the strongest and longest earthquake I have ever experienced. The shaking was extremely powerful and violent.— Theresia Uta, 52, told CNN she had just finished breakfast in Maumere when the earthquake hit; she described the shaking as the strongest and longest she had ever experienced.
