A powerful 7.4-magnitude quake jolts Taiwan, causing widespread damage and tsunami warnings. Find out more about this seismic event!

Taiwan was hit by a powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake, shaking the entire island and causing significant damage to buildings. The epicentre, located 18km from Hualien, left parts of Taipei without power. The quake, described as the strongest in a quarter of a century, prompted tsunami warnings in Japan and the Philippines. Buildings collapsed, and the tremors were felt across Taiwan, emphasizing the region's vulnerability to seismic activity.

In another incident, a magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck off the coast of Hualien County in eastern Taiwan, further adding to the devastation. This series of intense tremors has left the island reeling, with reports of extensive damage and infrastructure challenges. The Central Weather Administration confirmed the seismic activity, highlighting the urgent need for disaster preparedness and response in the region.

The recent earthquake in Taiwan marks the strongest tremor the island has experienced in at least 25 years, underscoring the seismic risks in the area. The resilience and solidarity of the Taiwanese people have been tested, as they work towards recovery and rebuilding efforts. The aftermath of this seismic event serves as a reminder of the importance of earthquake readiness and community support in mitigating the impact of natural disasters.
