Rescue efforts are under way in Taiwan after a 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck the island’s eastern coast, killing at least nine and injuring more than 800.
Some 127 people are trapped in collapsed tunnels and on mountainous roads along the rugged coastline.
The epicentre was 18km (11 miles) south of Hualien city, but strong tremors were felt all the way in the capital Taipei, more than 100km away.
This is the strongest quake to hit Taiwan in 25 years.
It also triggered tsunami alerts earlier in the day in nearby Japanese and Philippine islands which were later retracted.
