Massive earthquake strikes Taiwan, leaving hundreds injured and many trapped.
The quake caused landslides along the coast, blocking roads and tunnels. In Hualien, where the earthquake hit hardest, residents experienced collapsed buildings and power outages.
Rescue efforts are underway, but reaching those trapped in remote areas is challenging.
President Tsai Ing-wen calls for accurate information and assistance, while Taiwan receives offers of aid from allies like Japan.
Despite previous quakes, locals say this is the strongest in decades, recalling the devastation of the 1999 earthquake.
The situation remains tense as Taiwan deals with the aftermath of this powerful natural disaster.
