Taipei:
-More than 80 earthquakes, the strongest of 6.3 magnitude, struck Taiwan’s east coast beginning Monday evening and into the early hours of Tuesday and a few prompted shaking of buildings within the capital Taipei, the island’s climate administration stated.
The quakes have been centred on the largely rural japanese county of Hualien, the place on April three no less than 14 individuals died after a 7.2 magnitude temblor. Taiwan has been jolted by tons of of aftershocks since then.
The hearth division in Hualien stated early on Tuesday {that a} lodge which had already been broken on April three and was not in operation was now barely leaning on its facet.
However, there have been no studies of any casualties.
Taiwan lies close to the junction of two tectonic plates and is liable to earthquakes.
More than 100 individuals have been killed in a quake in southern Taiwan in 2016, whereas a 7.three magnitude quake killed greater than 2,000 individuals in 1999.
