TAIPEI: A 6.8 magnitude earthquake hit the sparsely populated southeastern part of Taiwan on Sunday (Sep 18), the island's weather bureau said, derailing train carriages, causing a convenience store to collapse and trapping people on a mountain.
Taiwan lies near the junction of two tectonic plates and is prone to earthquakes.
More than 100 people were killed in a quake in southern Taiwan in 2016, while a 7.3 magnitude quake killed more than 2,400 people in 1999.
