Taiwan rattled by 6.1 magnitude earthquake, no speedy studies of injury | World News
Two earthquakes, the biggest a 6.1 magnitude, struck Taiwan’s japanese county of Hualien on Saturday, the island’s climate administration stated, with no speedy studies of injury.
The quakes, inside half an hour of one another within the early hours of the morning, shook buildings within the capital, Taipei.
The primary quake had a depth of 24.9 km (15.5 miles) and hit simply off Hualien’s coast, whereas the second with a magnitude of 5.8 had a depth of 18.9 km (11.7 miles) and hit an analogous location, Taiwan’s climate administration stated.
Taiwan lies close to the junction of two tectonic plates and is liable to earthquakes.
Greater than 100 individuals had been killed in a quake in southern Taiwan in 2016, whereas a 7.3 magnitude quake killed greater than 2,000 individuals in 1999.
