A 6.three magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Taiwan’s japanese metropolis of Hualien on Friday, in line with the island’s climate administration cited by ANI. Regardless of the depth, there have been no fast stories of harm. That is the second massive quake to jolt the island in lower than a day.
The quake, which occurred 34 kilometers (21 miles) from Hualien, had a depth of 9.7 kilometers. The tremor was felt within the capital, Taipei, the place it shook buildings.
The climate administration reported that the quake had a depth of 9.7 kilometers and occurred after a 5.7 magnitude earthquake struck off Taiwan’s northeastern coast late Thursday.
Taiwan, situated close to the junction of two tectonic plates, regularly experiences seismic exercise.
