A strong earthquake struck Taiwan this morning, derailing train carriages and causing a convenience store to collapse.
The 6.8 magnitude tremor struck at a relatively shallow depth of seven kilometres near the city of Taitung on the south-eastern coast, Taiwanese authorities reported. A two-storey residential building collapsed near the epicentre, according to a Taiwanese media report.Following the quake in Taiwan, the Japan Meteorological Agency issued an advisory for a tsunami as high as one metre reaching several southern Japanese islands.
The agency said the earliest waves could reach Yonaguni island, Japan’s westernmost island about 70 miles east of Taiwan, at around 4.10pm local time and subsequently three nearby islands.Weather officials urged residents in those areas to stay away from the coastline. Taiwan’s Taitung County was hit by a 6.4 magnitude earthquake on Saturday night and has been rattled by numerous aftershocks since then.Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at
