A powerful magnitude 7.7 earthquake strikes Indonesia's Flores region, causing buildings to collapse, triggering panic and prompting a tsunami warning that was later lifted. The shallow offshore quake is followed by multiple aftershocks, with tsunami waves of less than one metre recorded in some areas. Rescue teams continue assessing damage and casualties across affected parts of Flores.

Kerala is facing a rapidly worsening monsoon disaster as relentless rainfall continues to trigger landslides, flash floods and widespread destruction across the state. The death toll has climbed to eight, including three children, as heavy rain batters several districts and rescue teams race against time to save lives. The worst-hit regions include Kottayam, Pathanamthitta and Idukki, where landslides have flattened homes, destroyed infrastructure and left families devastated. In Kottayam, a landslide crushed a house, killing two women, while separate landslides in Idukki claimed two more lives as torrential rain continued to lash the hill districts. The humanitarian impact continues to grow, with more than 1,300 people taking shelter in relief camps across Kerala. Kottayam and Pathanamthitta account for the highest number of relief camps as displacement rises and rescue operations expand. WATCH
