At the moment, no victims or significant material damage have been reported, the agency reported. In addition to the aforementioned chiayithe tremor was felt with the greatest intensity in the municipalities of Yulin and Tainanlocated in the center and west of the island.
According to the system used by the island authorities, a magnitude 5 earthquake is considered “moderate” and can cause slight damage to poorly constructed buildings or very old, but it does not usually cause fatalities.
Taiwan sits at the junction of the Philippine and Eurasian plates, so earthquakes are frequent on the island. EFE
