Taipei, June 14 (CNA) A magnitude-4.1 earthquake shook eastern Taiwan's Hualien County at around noon Thursday, but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage, according to the Central Weather Bureau's Seismology Center.
The temblor, which hit at 12:08 p.m., had a shallow epicenter at a depth of 5 kilometers beneath the earth's surface, the center said.
The epicenter was located in Hualien County's Shoufeng Township, 24.9 km southwest of Hualien County Hall, the center said, adding that the strongest intensity of 5 was felt in Hualien.
Taiwan is an earthquake-prone area. More than 30 earthquakes have rocked Taiwan so far this month, the strongest of which measured 6.5 on the Richter scale and was centered under the seabed off eastern Taiwan June 10.
On Wednesday, three temblors with magnitudes of between 3.4 and 4.9 jolted the Taoyuan and Hsinchu areas of northern Taiwan but did not cause any casualties or damage.
