TRANSCRIPT
A powerful magnitude 7.7 earthquake has struck off the coast of Indonesia, killing several people and damaging buildings and homes.
The quake struck about 68 kilometres off the north coast of the island of Flores.
Residents along the island's north coast fled to higher ground after the sea retreated, before a tsunami warning was lifted about three hours later.
A rescue official on Flores told media that at least 20 people have been killed and there is widespread damage.
The quake and aftershocks were felt across East Nusa Tenggara province and beyond, including by this villager, Nona, in Talibura.
"The quake was massive, the shock was so strong. We were resting at home with family. There were 13 of us inside the house and we all ran to save ourselves."

Hundreds of people from the Alice Springs community and surrounds have attended the funeral service of five-year-old Kumanjayi Little Baby in Alice Springs.
Mourners wore pink to honour the little girl, who went missing from a camp near Alice Springs in late April.
In a eulogy read on her behalf, Kumanjayi Little Baby's mother Jacinta Roy urged people to remember her for who she was and not just how she died.
She said she loved cuddling puppies, watching Bluey and the colour pink.
Warlpiri Elder and family spokesperson Robin Granites says the family welcomed the community to the funeral service.
"We said you come because you are one of our family. You are from here and we need you,' because we were both crying at the same time."

There are growing fears for Afghan refugees facing deportation from Pakistan.
Over the past year, Pakistan and Iran have returned 5.2 million Afghans who fled Taliban rule.
The warning comes as this week marks five years since the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan, with rapid deportations making it harder to process refugee applications to Australia.
Amnesty International spokesperson Zaki Haidari says women, ethnic minorities and Afghans who worked with Australian forces are among those most at risk.
"We have cases of people that been deported Afghanistan and been killed by Taliban. We have cases of individuals who were deported Afghanistan and been detained and disappeared. They knew if Taliban capture them, they will brutally persecute them, and that's a death sentence."

Almost 300 kilograms of cocaine has been found hidden in and around a tractor imported into Melbourne.
Border Force officers discovered the haul after X-raying a shipping container which had travelled from Germany via Panama.
The cocaine was packed into six large boxes, concealed among two tractors and machinery parts.
Federal and Victorian police are now trying to identify those behind the shipment and who was meant to receive it.
