"Deadly 7.4 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Taiwan, Strongest in 25 Years"
A 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck off Taiwan's east coast, resulting in at least seven deaths, 736 injuries, and collapsed buildings. The quake prompted tsunami warnings in Taiwan, Japan, and the Philippines, but these were later lifted. The damage was concentrated in Hualien County, where efforts are underway to free 77 people trapped in collapsed buildings. The earthquake disrupted transportation, knocked out power for over 87,000 households, and caused aftershocks. Taiwan's President set up a disaster response center, and the National Army is providing support. The earthquake is the strongest in Taiwan in 25 years, and Taiwan is on the Pacific Ring of Fire known for earthquakes.
