Brace yourselves! 🌊 Early this morning, China's Ministry of Natural Resources issued a level-1 tsunami alert after a magnitude-7.3 earthquake rocked the seas near Hualien, in China's Taiwan region, at 7:58 a.m. on Wednesday.
The quake sent shockwaves through the region, prompting swift action from authorities to ensure everyone's safety. Residents and travelers in coastal areas are being advised to stay alert and follow official guidance. 🚨
