Taiwan was hit again by an earthquake, also in the Hualien area, after the one at the beginning of this month, which had a magnitude of 7.2 and in which 17 people lost their lives.

This time the magnitude was 6.1, the island’s meteorological agency announced, without triggering a tsunami alert in this island where numerous earthquakes occurred on Monday and Tuesday, Reuters and AFP report.

The quake struck near the coast at 02:21 (18:21 GMT Friday), at a depth of 24.9 km, and set off alarms on mobile phones in the capital Taipei.

Taiwan was hit by more than 1,000 aftershocks after a 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck Hualien earlier this month, killing 17 people.

Located at the intersection of two tectonic plates, Taiwan is frequently hit by earthquakes.

In 2016, more than 100 people lost their lives in an earthquake in the south of the island, and in 1999, more than 2,000 people lost their lives in a 7.3-magnitude earthquake in the central area.
