Tai-Ex opening

The Tai-Ex opened down 150-points this morning from Friday's close, at 20,586

MND to Establish New Combatant Command in 2026

Earthquakes of Magnitude of Between 3 and 4 Could hit Chiayi Over Coming

Weeks

And,

The Central Weather Administration says more earthquakes of between

magnitudes 3 and 4 could hit Chiayi over the coming couple of weeks.

The warning comes after over 10 earthquakes have rattled the county since

last Friday.

According to the administration, the magnitude 7.2 earthquake that struck off

eastern Taiwan on April 3 resulted in stress adjustments in the underground

fault zones in Chiayi …

…. and that has triggered blind faults and unknown faults in western Taiwan

to release energy.

This is causing frequent temblors (搖晃) in the Chiayi area.
