Today's earthquake likely December magnitude 7.0 aftershock
Posted on 2026-02-24 20:07:13
Today's magnitude 5.6 earthquake in northeastern Taiwan was probably an
aftershock of December's magnitude 7.0 quake.

The Central Weather Administration also said further aftershocks possible but
likely minor.

Today's temblor struck off the coast of Yi-lan at 12:37 p.m., with its
epicenter in the sea some 17 kilometers east-southeast of Yilan County Hall
at a depth of 67 kilometers.

The CWA said it could be an aftershock of the earthquake on Dec. 27, given
the two events' similar locations and the two-month interval consistent with
an aftershock sequence,

The December quake's epicenter was at sea about 32 kilometers east of Yilan
County Hall at a depth of 73 kilometers.
