The quake shook buildings in the capital, Taipei. The quake had a depth of 9 km, the weather administration said, and was just off its northeastern shore. Subway services in Taipei continued at a lower speed immediately after the quake, authorities said. Taiwan lies near the junction of two tectonic plates and is prone to earthquakes. Taiwan recorded its biggest earthquake in at least 25 years in April which killed nine people and injured more than 900. (Reporting by Yimou Lee; editing by Christina Fincher)
