TAIPEI – A 7.4 magnitude earthquake rocked Taiwan on April 3, the strongest tremor to hit the island in at least 25 years, shaking buildings from their foundations and sparking a tsunami warning for the islands of southern Japan and the Philippines.

Taiwan television stations showed footage of buildings at precarious angles in the sparsely populated eastern county of Hualien, near the quake’s epicentre.

Taiwan’s fire department reported one person was dead and more than 50 injured.

The quake, which knocked out power in several parts of the capital Taipei, hit at 7.58am at a depth of 15.5km just off the eastern coast of Taiwan, according to Taiwan’s Central Weather Administration.

It was the strongest quake to hit the island in 25 years, state media said.

Mr Wu Chien-fu, director of Taipei’s Central Weather Administration’s Seismology Centre, warned that the authorities are not ruling out that “there will be earthquakes with magnitude of 6.5 to 7 in three days which will be relatively close to the land”.

China Earthquake Networks Center recorded five aftershocks of around 5 magnitude in Taiwan within an hour after the initial quake.

The Taipei city government has not received any reports of damage, and the city’s MRT was up and running soon after, while electricity operator Taipower said more than 87,000 households in Taiwan were still without power.

Taiwan’s high speed rail operator said no damage or injuries were reported on its trains, but added that trains will be delayed while it carries out inspections.

Taipei residents received warnings from their local borough chiefs to check for any gas leaks.

“I wanted to run out but I wasn’t dressed. That was so strong,” said Mr Kelvin Hwang, a guest at a downtown hotel who sought shelter in the lift lobby on the ninth floor.

BREAKING: High tsunami waves threaten 23 areas in Philippines after M7.5 quake, including Davao Del Sur

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology on Wednesday warned high tsunami waves may affect 23 areas in the Philippines following the magnitude 7.5 earthquake near Taiwan.

"Based on tsunami wave models and early tide gauge records of the tsunami in the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, coastal areas in the Philippines fronting the Pacific ocean are expected to experience high tsunami waves," Phivolcs said in an advisory.

Phivolcs said the first tsunami waves are expected to arrive between 08:33 AM to 10:33 AM, 03 Apr 2024 (PST). “It may not be the largest and these waves may continue for hours,” it said.

The following areas have been identified as under tsunami threat:

Batanes Group of Islands

Cagayan

Ilocos Norte

Isabela

Quezon

Aurora

Camarines Norte

Camarines Sur

Albay

Catanduanes

Sorsogon

Eastern Samar

Northern Samar

Leyte

Southern Leyte

Surigao del Norte

Surigao del Sur

Dinagat Islands

Davao de Oro

Davao del Norte

Davao del Sur

Davao Occidental

Davao Oriental

“The people in the coastal areas of the following provinces are STRONGLY ADVISED TO IMMEDIATELY EVACUATE to higher grounds or move farther inland,” Phivolcs said.

The agency said owners of boats in harbors, estuaries or shallow coastal water of the above-mentioned provinces should secure their boats and move away from the waterfront. “Boats already at sea during this period should stay offshore in deep waters until further advised.”

A 7.5-magnitude earthquake hit near Taiwan shortly before 9:00 am Japanese local time (0000 GMT) Wednesday, prompting tsunami warnings for southern Japanese islands, Japan Meteorological Agency said.

The Philippines warned of "high tsunami waves" and called for the evacuation of coastal areas in northern Luzon on Wednesday after a 7.4-magnitude quake in neighboring Taiwan.
