TAIPEI: A strong earthquake rocked much of Taiwan on Saturday, geological officials said, with local television reporting minor injuries and structural damage to some buildings. The US Geological Survey said on its website (www.usgs.gov/) the quake had a magnitude of 6.4 and was centered just off the island’s east coast, 25 km south-southeast of the city of Hualien. There were no reports of tsunami warnings being issued. Early television reports that a building had collapsed near Taipei were not correct, a Taiwanese disaster agency said.
