Rescuers search for survivors as Indonesian quake death toll rises to 47

Rescuers are actively searching through debris for survivors following a powerful earthquake that struck off Indonesia's eastern Flores island. Disaster officials confirmed that the death toll has risen to at least 47 people, up from an earlier count of 40.

The national disaster management agency (BNPB) adjusted the fatality figures late Saturday as rescue operations continued in the affected region. The event underscores the ongoing vulnerability of Indonesia's island communities to high-impact seismic activity.
