Taipei: An earthquake measuring 6.0 on the Richter scale shook southern Taiwan on Tuesday, but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage, officials said.
The epicentre of the quake was 31 kilometres northeast of Chenggong on the east coast, at a depth of 30 kilometres, the Central Weather Bureau said in a statement.
Earthquakes occur frequently in Taiwan, which lies on a seismically active stretch of the Pacific basin.
