The 7.7 earthquake struck the Flores region in East Nusa Tenggara shortly before 5am local time. The earthquake had a depth of 15km, and its epicentre was 30km from Nagekeo, East Nusa Tenggara.

The region is east of the popular tourist island of Bali.

Indonesia's Joint Search and Rescue Team (SAR) said the massive 7.7 magnitude earthquake caused a building to collapse, killing a 54-year-old woman.

"Two other people were injured," Fathur Rahman, head of the Maumere SAR Office, said.

Search and rescue teams have deployed to multiple areas hit by the earthquake.

Earlier, officials from the national disaster management agency said they were looking into reports that two people had died.

Indonesia's national disaster management agency says their main priority is to ensure public safety and prevent additional casualties from aftershocks and related hazards.

The agency advises people to remain calm and stay away from coastal areas.

"Residents should also avoid entering buildings, especially those that have already sustained cracks or structural damage," the agency, which is known in Indonesia as BNPB, says.

"A rapid assessment is currently underway to determine the number of casualties and the extent of the impact. We will provide that information after the data has been verified."

Berton Panjaitan, the acting head of Indonesia's National Disaster Management Agency, says they have received reports that two people have died.

"We are continuing to monitor and verify this information. We will issue an official statement once the data has been confirmed, including the number of fatalities and the extent of the damage caused by the disaster," he said.

Arnold Welianto, who lives in Talibura village, Sikka, East Nusa Tenggara, tells the BBC that he was still asleep when he felt the "very strong shaking".

"I was startled awake and immediately went to my child's room," he says.

He goes on: "Once we were outside, residents in our neighbourhood, which is located close to the shoreline, had already fled their homes and were heading toward the hills and crowding the roads, while some other residents were standing along the roadside because the sea had also receded."

"The water remained low for quite some time, so everyone panicked and ran - I went around to the community health centre, and the people there had already been evacuated."

Welianto says many residents are choosing to remain outdoors because of the earthquake, and ongoing aftershocks mean they are afraid to return home.

The Indonesian agency for Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics has just issued an updated alert saying that the tsunami warning "has been declared over".

The statement says: "The Tsunami Early Warning caused by the Mag: 7.7 earthquake, location: 30 km Northeast of MBAY-NAGEKEO-NTT, time: 15-Aug-26 04:58:24 WIB, has been declared over, this is the latest information provided by the Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System."

Indonesian authorities have ordered people to evacuate after a magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck the Flores region in East Nusa Tenggara shortly before 5am local time. The earthquake had a depth of 15km, and its epicentre was 30km from Nagekeo, East Nusa Tenggara.

"Tsunami modeling indicates that this earthquake HAS TSUNAMI POTENTIAL in the provinces of East Nusa Tenggara, South Sulawesi, and West Nusa Tenggara," a statement from the Director of Earthquake and Tsunami at the Indonesian agency for Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics.

It is currently just after 7am in Jakarta.
