A series of earthquakes rattled Taiwan, causing sleepless nights and recalling a deadly tremor. Find out more about the seismic activity in Taiwan!

Taiwan was struck by a series of earthquakes, with more than 80 tremors hitting the eastern coast. The strongest quake measured 6.3 magnitude, causing concern and sleepless nights for residents. The epicenter of the 6.0-magnitude quake was located off the Hualien coast in the Pacific Ocean. Seismologists are closely monitoring the situation and may revise the reported magnitudes as more data is collected.

Following a deadly tremor on April 3 that claimed lives and caused significant damage, Taiwan experienced another round of quakes. Two buildings in Hualien county that were damaged in the previous quake partially collapsed due to the recent seismic activity. Fortunately, there were no immediate reports of injuries or casualties from the latest earthquakes.

The recent cluster of aftershocks has reignited fears and memories of the destructive tremors that struck Taiwan earlier. Residents are on edge as the island continues to experience these seismic events. Authorities are assessing the impact and working to ensure the safety of the affected areas.

As Taiwan remains on high alert, the seismologists are analyzing the data and closely monitoring the situation. The series of earthquakes serve as a stark reminder of the region's vulnerability to seismic activity. The resilience of the Taiwanese people and the ongoing efforts to improve earthquake preparedness and response are crucial in mitigating the impact of such natural disasters.
