Taiwan hit by 7.0 magnitude earthquake, no significant damage reported

A magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Taiwan’s northeastern coastal city, with a depth of 73km, causing shaking felt across the island but no immediate major damage reported. The Taiwan weather administration indicated limited damage due to the quake’s offshore location and depth, while minor issues such as gas leaks and building damage were noted. More than 3,000 homes briefly lost power, and TSMC evacuated some staff who have since returned. Authorities warned of potential aftershocks and emphasized the need for vigilance.
