The only earthquake that has ever been successfully predicted by foreshocks occurred on October 4, 1981, in the city of Haicheng, China. Scientists observed a series of foreshocks leading up to the main earthquake, which registered a magnitude of 7.3. This prediction allowed for the evacuation of residents, significantly reducing casualties. The event remains a significant case in the study of earthquake prediction.
