China toughened its language towards Taiwan on Thursday, warning after recent stepped up military activities near the island that "independence means war" and that its armed forces were acting in response to provocation and foreign interference.
A powerful earthquake of magnitude 6.4 struck Taiwan at midnight, sending shockwaves across the island. The earthquake rattled buildings, triggered widespread alarms, and left many residents in fear. The epicenter was located off the east coast, though tremors were felt across various parts of Taiwan, including the capital, Taipei. Early reports suggest structural damages and potential casualties, though authorities are still assessing the full impact. Emergency response teams have been deployed, and citizens have been urged to stay alert. Stay tuned for live updates on the aftermath and ongoing rescue operations.
