Recently, earthquakes have been frequent, raising concerns among people about a potential major earthquake. Earlier, rumors spread that Indian prodigy Abhigya Anand predicted an 8.2 magnitude earthquake at 3:47 AM on June 14, which he has since clarified he never made.

Reports indicate that there have been claims on the social platform Threads that Anand had predicted a major earthquake on June 14, 2025, which could trigger a tsunami. Although the source of the information is unclear, many users, including Taiwanese celebrities like Mayday’s lead singer Ashin, have been following this matter.

After June 14, the only earthquake reported near Taiwan was a magnitude 6.1 quake in the waters near the northern Kuril Islands, with a depth of 10 kilometers and a maximum intensity of 1. Residents of Hokkaido and Honshu felt it. In response, a concerned netizen reached out to Anand's official YouTube channel, who subsequently denied making such a prediction and expressed dissatisfaction with media and user misinformation, asking for the original source of the claim.

Many netizens praised the fact-checker’s initiative, saying, "Finally, I can sleep peacefully again," and "Thank you for your investigative spirit."
