Tsunami alert issued for coastlines within 300-kilometer radius of 6.9-magnitude quake that hit southeastern Taiwan, US Geological Survey says
Hazardous tsunami waves are possible along coastlines within a 300-kilometer radius of a 6.9-magnitude earthquake that hit southeastern Taiwan on Sunday, the United States Geological Survey has said. The quake hit the Chishang township in rural southeastern Taiwan and had a depth of 10 kilometers. Japan’s Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami warning for Miyako island in the East China Sea, but the agency later removed the warning.
A fourth person was rescued. About 20 passengers were evacuated after a train derailed in the area, but there were no casualties from the incident, the Taiwan Railway Administration said. Kolas Yotaka, a former presidential spokeswoman who is running for local elections in Hualien county, said that damages were also reported at a local school. Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen activated the island’s Central Emergency Operation Center following the quake.
