Aftershock tremors shook several cities in China's Zhejiang province on Wednesday after a 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit Taiwan's east coast earlier in the day.
Footage captured by residents in the cities of Huzhou, Wenling and Rui'an shows chandeliers swinging, with some breaking, as the quake hit. The tremors also prompted the evacuation of a school, where young children and staff members are seen evacuating the building as emergency sirens rang.
At time of publication, Nine people have been killed, 946 injured and 137 trapped under the rubble, according to the Taiwan Health Ministry. Taiwan's Central Emergency Operation Centre stated that 26 buildings had collapsed in Hualien County, the area worst affected by the quake.
The Central Weather Administration (CWA) said the epicentre of the 7.2 magnitude earthquake was 25km southeast of Hualien County Hall at a depth of 15.5km. Tsunami warnings issued for Japan’s southern area of Okinawa and the Philippines were later lifted.
Wednesday's earthquake is reportedly the biggest to hit Taiwan since 1999 when a 7.6 magnitude tremor left at least 2,400 dead.
