Taiwan Quake: A Jolt from the Depths

A 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck 128 kilometres off the northeastern coast of Taiwan on Thursday, according to the island's Central Weather Administration. There are no immediate reports of damage from this seismic activity.

The earthquake was significant enough to cause buildings to shake in Taiwan's capital city, Taipei. However, no damage has been reported as yet, according to initial assessments.

The quake was recorded at a depth of 88.1 kilometres, which may have mitigated its impact on the surface despite the considerable magnitude. Officials continue to monitor the situation closely.
