A cluster of earthquakes rattles Taiwan, with aftershocks hitting the nation after a deadly quake. Find out more about the seismic activity in Taiwan!

Taiwan is currently experiencing a series of seismic events, starting with a strong 6.1 magnitude earthquake that had its epicenter south of Hualien. The US Geological Survey reported over 1000 tremors following the devastating quake, with dozens of strong aftershocks continuing to shake the island. Buildings swayed, some tilting, as the government works to assess and mitigate the impact on infrastructure and safety measures.

Throughout the past weeks, Taiwan has been hit by more than 200 aftershocks, with the eastern county of Hualien being particularly affected. Despite the alarming number of aftershocks, only minor damage has been reported. As the tremors continue, the Taiwanese government remains vigilant to ensure the safety of its citizens.

Aside from the seismic activity, KMT Legislator Fu Kun-chi recently canceled his trip to China due to the series of earthquakes in Taiwan. Aftershocks have been rocking the nation, with the strongest recorded at 6.1 magnitude, causing concerns among residents and officials.

The recent earthquakes highlight the vulnerability of Taiwan to seismic events, emphasizing the need for constant monitoring and a robust response plan. With over 80 quakes hitting the east coast and aftershocks still ongoing, the resilience of Taiwan's infrastructure and the preparedness of its government are put to the test.
