A magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck southern Taiwan early Sunday morning, the Central Weather Administration (CWA) reported.
The quake occurred at 7:38 a.m., with its epicenter located in Nanxi District, approximately 41.3 kilometers east-northeast of Tainan City Hall. The tremor originated at a shallow depth of 8.1 kilometers, according to the CWA.
Despite the strength of the earthquake, no immediate reports of damage or injuries have been recorded. Local authorities are continuing to monitor the situation and assess any potential impacts.
Earthquakes are common in Taiwan due to its location along the seismically active Pacific Ring of Fire, and residents in affected areas are advised to remain vigilant and follow safety protocols. (ILKHA)
