Indonesia: A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake has struck off the coast of Indonesia, leaving dozens of people dead and hundreds of buildings damaged or collapsed. Indonesia's national disaster agency said the number of people killed in the disaster stood at 47, while local search and rescue authorities said a further 50 people were taken to hospital. Both agencies warned both figures would almost certainly rise, with some badly affected areas still inaccessible due to landslides. Join EJN:
