Early on Tuesday, a series of earthquakes rattled Taiwan, with the strongest measuring 6.1 magnitude, as reported by the U.S. Geological Survey. Fortunately, there have been no immediate reports of damage or casualties resulting from these seismic events.

This recent cluster of earthquakes follows a significant magnitude 7.4 quake that struck the island earlier this month, resulting in the tragic loss of 13 lives and injuring over 1,000 individuals. The epicenter of this previous earthquake was located along the coast of the rural and mountainous Hualien County. This event marked the most powerful earthquake to hit Taiwan in the past 25 years and was followed by numerous aftershocks.
