Shattered Lives on Indonesia's Ring of Fire The latest earthquake to ravage Indonesia's eastern Flores region serves as a stark reminder of the country's precarious geography and its vulnerability to natural disasters.
The 7. 7 magnitude quake, which struck off the coast of Indonesia, has left at least two people dead and several injured, with widespread damage reported across the island.
Indonesia is situated on the "Ring of Fire," an arc of volcanoes and fault lines in the Pacific Basin that makes it one of the most seismically active countries in the world.
