TL;DR Summary

A 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck Taiwan's east coast, leaving at least nine dead, over 1,000 injured, and more than 50 missing. The tremors triggered landslides, collapsed hillsides, and set off tsunami warnings. Over 50 aftershocks have forced many to sleep in tents, while rescue teams work to free people trapped in road tunnels. Meanwhile, a 6-magnitude earthquake hit off the coast of Honshu, Japan. China offered disaster relief assistance to Taiwan, but the strained relations between the two countries may hinder acceptance.
