Deadly Earthquake Strikes Taiwan: Tsunami Alerts Triggered Across Pacific
A devastating 7.2 magnitude earthquake has struck Taiwan's east coast, leaving one person dead and over 50 injured
A tsunami warning has now been issued for more than 50 countries and territories by the U.S. National Weather Service after a devastating 8.9-magnitude earthquake struck Japan Friday.
Russia, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, the US state of Hawaii, the Philippines, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Australia, Fiji, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Honduras, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia and Peru are among the states and areas included.
Some officials feared that the fast-moving waves from a tsunami could be so high that they would wash over entire islands in the Pacific, a spokesman for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies told CNN.
The earthquake has been the strongest in Japan in the last 140 years.
The Japanese authorities have launched a mass evacuation and rescue operation in coastal areas, including the use of military ships. At least 93 people have been killed in the devastating 8.9-magnitude earthquake that hit Japan on Friday, according to the first official death toll from police.
The official Kyodo News Agency reported that about 88 000 people were missing after a tsunami triggered by the quake swept away houses, farmlands and vehicles.
