The quake hit just after midday about 30 kilometers off the coast of Hualien County at a shallow depth of six kilometers.There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.Some earthquakes of 6.0 or more can prove deadly, although much depends on where the quake strikes and at what depth. An AFP reporter in Taipei said the shaking in the capital felt less intense than previous earthquakes this year.
