This is the best summary I could come up with:
At least four people were killed and over 50 injured in Taiwan’s biggest earthquake in more than two decades, prompting authorities across the region to issue tsunami warnings.
Taiwan, Japan and the Philippines have issued tsunami warnings, with waves as high as three metres initially expected to slam the remote Japanese island group of Okinawa.
Authorities in Taiwan issued warnings through text messages to “remind people in coastal areas to be vigilant and take strict precautions and pay attention to the dangers caused by sudden surges in waves”.
Japan’s Self Defence Force has sent planes to the area to gather information about the tsunami impact around the Okinawa region, and said it was preparing shelters for evacuation, if necessary.
The Philippine government has asked people in coastal areas to immediately evacuate to higher ground as the islands brace for “high tsunami waves”.
Mainland China, which considers the self-governed island to be part of its sovereign territory, said it was highly concerned at reports of the earthquake and was willing to provide disaster relief assistance, according to Chinese state media.
