6.3 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Taiwan admin, April 22, 2024 Taiwan was hit with a magnitude-6.0 quake late on Monday night, after a day of tremors. The quakes were centered on the largely rural eastern county of Hualien, where on April 3 at least 14 people died after a 7.2 magnitude temblor. Taiwan has been experiencing hundreds of aftershocks since then. The fire department in Hualien reported early on Tuesday that a hotel, which had been damaged on April 3 and was no longer in operation, was now slightly leaning on its side. However, there were no reports of any casualties. Taiwan is located near the junction of two tectonic plates and is prone to earthquakes. More than 100 people were killed in a quake in southern Taiwan in 2016, while a 7.3 magnitude quake killed more than 2,000 people in 1999. *(This story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed. )* Hualien, Taiwan
