Buildings shook briefly in Taipei on Monday as a 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck off Taiwan's eastern coast, but there were no reports of damage.
The quake was felt across Taiwan, according to the weather bureau. It had a depth of 27.5km (17.1 miles) with its epicentre off the island’s east coast, roughly halfway between Hualien county and the southern Japanese island of Yonaguni.
Taiwan lies near the junction of two tectonic plates and is prone to earthquakes. More than 100 people were killed in a quake in southern Taiwan in 2016, while a 7.3 magnitude quake killed more than 2,000 people in 1999.
