A 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck the east coast of Taiwan yesterday (April 3, 2024) , leaving nine people dead and at least 946 injured, the Yahoo News website reports.
The earthquake was the largest to hit the island in a quarter century, and officials say that the number of casualties is expected to rise as the extent of the damage becomes clear.
Efforts are underway to rescue those who were left trapped by the earthquake -- including 50 people aboard mini buses heading t o Taroko National Park, partially located in Hualien County, the quake's epicenter, and 64 individuals stuck in a rock quarry.
