A cluster of earthquakes struck Taiwan on Tuesday, with the strongest registering a magnitude of 6.1. While no casualties were reported, damage was sustained to two multi-story buildings previously evacuated after a 7.4 magnitude quake earlier in April, which claimed 13 lives and injured over 1,000. Taiwan, prone to earthquakes, has implemented strict building codes and public education campaigns to mitigate the impact on its 23 million residents.
