6.3 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Taiwan admin, April 22, 2024 Taiwan was hit by a magnitude-6.0 earthquake late on Monday night, following a day of tremors. The quakes were centered in the mostly rural eastern county of Hualien, which had previously experienced a 7.2 magnitude earthquake on April 3, resulting in the deaths of at least 14 people. Since then, Taiwan has been experiencing hundreds of aftershocks. The fire department in Hualien reported early on Tuesday that a hotel, which had previously been damaged on April 3 and was no longer operational, was now slightly leaning on its side. However, there were no reports of casualties. Taiwan is situated near the junction of two tectonic plates and is susceptible to earthquakes. In 2016, over 100 people were killed in a quake in southern Taiwan, while a 7.3 magnitude quake claimed the lives of 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
