A 6.1 magnitude earthquake hit Taiwan's Hualien county, noted by the island's weather authorities. It shook buildings in Taipei but caused no immediate damage. The quake's depth was 24.9 km. This event comes after a deadly 7.2 magnitude quake in Hualien earlier this month, which claimed 17 lives and triggered over 1,000 aftershocks. Taiwan, familiar with seismic activity, remains vigilant. The recent series of quakes underscores the region's vulnerability and the importance of readiness. With no reports of harm from this latest quake, the island continues to demonstrate resilience in the face of natural disasters.
