Quake measuring 6.1 shakes Taiwan, no reports of damage

(Reuters) - An earthquake with a magnitude of at least 6.1 shook Taiwan on Wednesday, official agencies said, but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage. The U.S. Geological Survey registered the quake with a magnitude of 6.3. The epicenter of the quake was near central Taiwan at a depth of about 15 km (9 miles), said Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau, which uses the Richter scale. In September 1999, a 7.6 quake killed more than 2,400 people and destroyed or damaged 50,000 buildings. (Reporting by Faith Hung)
