Rescuers are currently engaged in efforts to free dozens of individuals who are trapped following a powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake that struck the east coast of Taiwan. The earthquake has resulted in landslides and collapsed structures, leading to significant devastation in the region.
As of now, at least nine people have lost their lives, with over 900 others sustaining injuries. Additionally, more than 100 buildings have been damaged as a result of the quake, making it the strongest to hit Taiwan in the past 25 years.
