More than 700 people stranded after Taiwan's biggest earthquake in 25 years

At least ten people have died and more than 700 people are stranded after Taiwan's strongest earthquake in 25 years. The Japanese Meteorological Agency reported the quake at around 8am (local time), about 18 kilometres southwest of Hualien City. The 7.4 magnitude earthquake is the strongest tremor to hit the island in at least 25 years. Several aftershocks struck the capital of Taipei, while most of the damage has been recorded in the eastern city of Hualien. Rescue crews are working to free those beneath the rubble after the quake caused landslides and collapsed buildings.
