Here's what we know about the deadly train crash in Taiwan
A busy passenger train carrying 490 people has derailed in a tunnel in eastern Taiwan, killing at least 48 and injuring dozens more, according to authorities.
Rescue efforts to free those trapped continue.
The eight car train, traveling to Taitung, came off the rails in a tunnel just north of Hualien, causing several carriages to hit the wall of the tunnel, the government-run Central News Agency (CNA) reported, citing the fire department.
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.
