At least nine people have been killed and more than 1,000 injured by a powerful earthquake in Taiwan that damaged dozens of buildings and prompted tsunami warnings that extended to Japan and the Philippines before being lifted.
Dozens of people were believed safe but unreachable in areas cut off by massive landslides triggered by the quake, many in tunnels that cut through the mountains that bisect the island from north to south.
Officials said the quake was the strongest to shake the island in decades, and warned of more tremors in the days ahead.
