Over 80 earthquakes, the strongest of 6.3 magnitude, rattled Taiwan’s east coast starting Monday night and into the early hours of Tuesday and some caused shaking of buildings in the capital Taipei, Reuters reported citing the island’s weather administration.
The quakes were centred on the largely rural eastern county of Hualien, where on April 3 at least 14 people died after a 7.2 magnitude temblor. Taiwan has been jolted by hundreds of aftershocks since then.
Taiwan lies near the junction of two tectonic plates and is prone to earthquakes.
