4.6 quake 25 May 11:15 am (GMT +9)

A magnitude 4.6 earthquake near Yilan, Taiwan, was reported only 15 minutes ago by Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in this part of the world. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10 km beneath the epicenter in the morning on Tuesday 25 May 2021 at 11:15 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Yonakuni (pop. 1,700) located 44 km from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Yilan (pop. 94,200) located 100 km from the epicenter, and Keelung (pop. 397,500) 108 km away.
