Taipei/IBNS: A 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck Taiwan's eastern county of Hualien on Saturday, the island's weather administration said.

There have been no immediate reports of damage.

The quake shook buildings in the capital, Taipei.

The quake had a depth of 24.9 km (15.5 miles), the weather administration said.
