Taiwan has been hit by hundreds of aftershocks in the wake of two major quakes that have rocked the island over the past three days, and reports show there may be more to come.

According to the Taiwan News, a series of aftershocks was noted in the hours following the 6.4 earthquake (USGS data, CWB cites a slightly different figure) that struck on Monday, Feb. 6. By around 3 p.m. local time on Feb. 7, the tally of aftershocks stood at 153.
