A 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck off Taiwan's northeastern coast near Yilan County on Saturday night, with tremors felt across the island, including in the capital, Taipei. The quake, at a depth of approximately 73 km, registered an intensity level of 4 in some areas. While some minor damage, power outages, and evacuations at facilities like TSMC were reported, authorities stated there was no major damage or casualties. Taiwan's Central Weather Administration noted this was one of the strongest earthquakes in recorded history for the island, which is prone to seismic activity due to its location near tectonic plate junctions.
