Aftershocks continued to rattle Taiwan a day after a 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck just south of Hualien County, the island's worst-affected region. The seismic activity has been persistent, with more than 40 aftershocks of magnitude 4 or higher recorded near Taiwan's east coast. Among these aftershocks was a significant 6.4-magnitude tremor, adding to the ongoing concerns.
According to data from the United States Geological Survey, the aftershocks have been a cause for alarm. Taiwanese officials have issued warnings indicating that aftershocks as high as magnitude 7 could persist until the end of the week. This heightened seismic activity has put residents and authorities on high alert, with the potential for further disruptions and damage.
