🌊 A powerful magnitude-6.6 earthquake struck waters east of China's Taiwan region on Saturday, December 28, 2025, sending shockwaves through Taipei for nearly a minute. The quake – centered 60 km below the ocean surface – caused visible shaking of high-rise buildings but no major damage has been reported as of press time.
💡 Key details:
– Strong tremors felt in coastal Fujian province on the Chinese mainland
– Taiwan region's emergency teams dispatched for damage assessments
– Social media flooded with shaky doorbell cam footage 📸
– Tsunami alert not issued by monitoring centers
While this marks the strongest seismic event in the area since March 2025, experts remind residents that the Taiwan Strait region experiences about 200 detectable quakes annually. 'Always secure heavy furniture and know your evacuation routes,' advises disaster preparedness influencer @SafetySam.
