Taiwan experienced a significant earthquake on Sunday, registering a magnitude of 7.0. The quake, centered near Yilan County Hall, occurred at a depth of 72.8 kilometers. Buildings in the capital, Taipei, reportedly shook, but initial reports indicate no major damage or casualties.

This event follows a 6.6 magnitude earthquake that struck off the coast of Taiwan earlier this week, raising concerns about increased seismic activity in the region. Authorities are currently assessing the situation and monitoring for potential aftershocks. The frequent tremors highlight Taiwan’s vulnerability to earthquakes, as it lies in a seismically active zone where multiple tectonic plates converge.
