A 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck Taiwan’s southeastern coastal province of Taitung on Wednesday, the country’s meteorological authority said, with no reports of damage so far.
The quake also shook buildings in the capital, Taipei, and was recorded at a depth of 11.9 kilometers (7.39 miles).
Taiwan’s National Fire Agency confirmed that there are no reports of damage in the country so far.
Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC said the quake did not reach a level that would require the evacuation of factories across the island, which sits at the junction of two tectonic plates and is known for seismic activity.
To recall, more than 100 people died in an earthquake in southern Taiwan in 2016, while a magnitude 7.3 earthquake in 1999 claimed more than 2,000 lives.
