A 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck off Taiwan's northeastern coastal city of Yilan on Thursday, the island's weather bureau said, with no immediate reports of damage.
A Reuters witness said the quake shook buildings in the capital, Taipei. The quake had a depth of 22 km (13 miles).
No other details were immediately available. Taiwan, a self-ruled island that China considers its own, lies near the junction of two tectonic plates and is prone to earthquakes.
