    Strongest earthquake in 25 years hits Taiwan

    A 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck off Taiwan's east coast on Wednesday, setting off tsunami warnings on the island and its neighbouring countries.
    The epicentre is located about 18km (11 miles) south of Taiwan's Hualien city, according to the US Geological Survey.
    Multiple buildings have partially collapsed in Hualien and are shown leaning at precarious angles.
    It is Taiwan's strongest earthquake in 25 years, said seismology officials.
    Taiwanese chipmaking giant TSMC said it has evacuated some of its factories in Hsinchu and southern Taiwan for its staff's safety, but added that its safety systems are operating normally.
    TSMC is a major producer of semiconductors for tech firms including Apple and Nvidia.

    The first wave of a tsunami is believed to have already struck two of Japan's southern islands - with waves of up to three metres expected to reach larger areas of the southwestern coast.

    There have been some rather large buildings that have collapsed in the east, I am afraid.
