Taiwan hit by big earthquake, no immediate reports of damage
A 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck 34 km (21 miles) off Taiwan's eastern city of Hualien on Friday, the weather administration said, with no immediate reports of damage from what was the second strong tremor to hit the island in less than a day.
The quake also shook buildings in the capital, Taipei. Authorities said subway services in the city continued at lower speeds.
"It was close," said Hsieh Yu Wei, a singer who pulled his car over the moment he received a government-issued quake warning while driving on a Hualien coastal highway.
The quake had a depth of 9.7 km, the weather administration said, and followed a 5.7 magnitude earthquake that struck off Taiwan's northeastern shore on late Thursday.
Weather officials warned of aftershocks that could reach a magnitude of 5.5 in the next few days. Around a dozen earthquakes were recorded near Hualien since the major tremor this morning.
Weather officials have warned of the risk of landslides in mountainous areas following days of rain.
Taiwan lies near the junction of two tectonic plates and is prone to earthquakes.
