Taiwan Earthquake: Videos show titled buildings, swaying bridges as powerful quake hits | Oneindia
Today, Taiwan was struck by a massive earthquake, claiming the lives of seven individuals and leaving over 700 injured.
The seismic event also prompted tsunami warnings in Japan and the Philippines.
Gripping visuals circulated on social media depict buildings trembling, bridges swaying, and civilians seeking refuge.
Measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale, this earthquake stands as the most powerful to rock the island in a quarter of a century, with authorities cautioning of potential aftershocks in the coming days.
Taiwanese officials note that it surpasses the strength of the 1999 quake, which registered at 7.6 magnitude and resulted in the tragic loss of 2,400 lives.
Taiwan detected 37 Chinese military aircraft, including fighter jets and drones, near its airspace, with 35 crossing the median line of the Taiwan Strait. In response, Taiwan deployed aircraft, naval vessels, and shore-based missiles. The incident follows recent Chinese military drills and heightened defense patrols. China frames these maneuvers as defense measures, raising tensions as Beijing views Taiwan as a breakaway province, intensifying regional concerns over potential conflict.
