Taiwan was shaken by its strongest earthquake in 25 years on April 3, causing buildings to collapse and landslides to crush highways and tunnels and resulting in at least nine deaths and triggering tsunami warnings across the region. More than 1,000 were injured.
The 7.4 magnitude quake struck at 7:58 a.m. local time, about 11 miles southwest of the east coast city of Hualien, at a depth of about 21 miles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). It was followed by a 6.5 magnitude aftershock just 13 minutes later.
