Taiwan’s eastern Hualien county, which was struck by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake on April 3, has experienced more than 200 aftershocks since Monday afternoon. The aftershocks, which ranged in magnitude from 4.3 to 6.3, have caused minor damage to buildings but no casualties have been reported. The Central Weather Administration said the aftershocks are a “concentrated release of energy” and that more could be expected, although perhaps not as strong. Residents in Hualien have been advised to be prepared for further disruption as heavy rain is predicted for the region this week.
