For multiple consecutive nights, there have been felt earthquakes with magnitudes of 5 or above. Tremors reached intensity level 4 in Hualien and Nantou, level 3 in Yunlin, and level 2 in the Taipei metropolitan area. The Central Weather Bureau warns that aftershocks may continue over the next 2–3 weeks. In addition to the subduction of the Philippine Plate, the compression of the Eurasian Plate may also trigger the Meishan Fault, potentially causing another sizable earthquake. Continued vigilance and earthquake preparedness are advised.
