Taiwan was hit by a powerful earthquake
On Monday evening, a massive 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck Taiwan, shaking buildings in the capital (Taipei) and much of the island’s northern region. There were no immediate reports of significant damage or injuries.
The quake struck at a depth of 28.7 kilometres (18 miles) beneath the ocean east of Hualien city on the island’s east coast, according to the US Geological Survey.
In Taipei, the capital, walls rocked as office towers swayed. Lights swayed, and mirrors and paintings shattered. Despite the intense shaking, the USGS predicted that economic effects would be limited.
