On the morning of April 3, 2024, a magnitude 6.6 earthquake struck off the coast of Yilan County, Taiwan. The epicenter was located approximately 60 kilometers southeast of Yilan County government offices, with a shallow focal depth of about 10 kilometers. This quake is one of the strongest to hit northeastern Taiwan’s offshore region in recent years. Strong shaking was felt across much of Taiwan, particularly in Taipei, New Taipei, Keelung, and Yilan. Immediately after the quake, Taiwan’s Central Weather Bureau issued a tsunami warning, but later downgraded the alert after assessing minimal tsunami risk. As of now, no major casualties have been reported, though minor structural damage, road cracks, and localized power outages have occurred in some areas. Experts explain that Taiwan lies along the seismically active Pacific Ring of Fire, where frequent tectonic activity occurs due to the collision between the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate—making this earthquake a typical geological event. Authorities urge the public to remain vigilant, review emergency preparedness plans, and follow official updates.
2024年4月3日清晨，台湾宜兰县海域发生里氏6.6级地震，震中位于宜兰县政府东南方约60公里的海域，震源深度约10公里。此次地震为近年来台湾东北部海域发生的较强地震之一，全台多地有明显震感，尤以台北、新北、基隆及宜兰地区感受最为强烈。地震发生后，台湾气象部门迅速发布海啸警报，但随后评估认为海啸风险较低，已解除警报。截至目前，暂无重大人员伤亡报告，但部分地区出现轻微建筑损坏、道路裂缝及电力中断等情况。专家指出，台湾地处环太平洋地震带，地壳活动频繁，此次地震属于菲律宾海板块与欧亚板块相互挤压所致，属正常地质活动范畴。民众应保持警惕，熟悉防震避难措施，并关注官方发布的后续信息。
