Un terremoto de magnitud 7,7 sacudió la costa de Indonesia y disparó una alerta por tsunami

BREAKING: At least 20 people killed after the magnitude 7.7 earthquake off Indonesia's coast, triggering a tsunami alert and mass evacuations.

At least twenty people are dead after a massive earthquake off Indonesia's coast. The magnitude 7.7 quake struck offshore and triggered a tsunami alert, and coastal communities are evacuating in large numbers right now.

The first pictures are coming in, and they show the scale of this. Rescue workers in orange are moving through a destroyed airport terminal, searching what is left of the departure hall. And here, military and rescue teams are working through the rubble of collapsed buildings, looking for anyone still trapped underneath.

The tsunami alert sent people inland and to higher ground within minutes. Indonesia sits on the Ring of Fire, and its people know exactly what a 7.7 offshore can do. That memory is why the evacuations happened so fast.

So this is where the morning stands. Twenty confirmed dead, a live tsunami alert, and search teams still in the rubble. That toll is early, and it will move.
