At least nine people have died after a 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck the east coast of Taiwan on Wednesday, the strongest in 25 years.
Rescuers are working to free dozens trapped after the quake caused landslides and collapsed structures. More than 900 others are injured and over 100 buildings have been damaged.
The quake was followed by strong aftershocks, including a 6.5 magnitude tremor. Multiple aftershocks as strong as magnitude 7 are expected in the coming days.
Taiwan, Japan and the Philippines have all canceled tsunami warnings issued after the quake hit.
