Surveillance footage from inside a Taoyuan resident's home captured a tense moment as an earthquake struck Taiwan on Saturday night.
The 6.6-magnitude earthquake hit the waters off Yilan County, Taiwan, at 23:05 Saturday (Beijing Time), according to the China Earthquake Networks Center (CENC). The epicenter was reported at 24.67 degrees north latitude and 122.06 degrees east longitude, with a depth of 60 km, the CENC said.
A resident in Taoyuan, a city in northwestern Taiwan near Yilan, shared a video clip showing how the quake noticeably shook the baby's bed rail.
No reports of casualties or property damage have been released so far.
Affected rail services have resumed, and no trains or flights were delayed or canceled on Sunday morning.
Local authorities said no major disaster has occurred due to the earthquake’s relatively deep focal depth, but issued alerts warning of possible aftershocks and urged residents to evacuate immediately if they found structural damage to their homes.

A carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and liquefaction facility now runs smoothly in south China's Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP), signaling a major technological advance in the region's push toward green and low-carbon development.
The facility, located in Hainan's Chengmai County, was developed by Southern Petroleum Exploration and Development Corporation -- a Hainan-based subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) -- which focuses on oil and gas exploration and new energy development.
It captures, purifies and liquefies CO2 extracted from associated oilfield gas, with daily output of liquid CO2 now surpassing 100 metric tonnes.
"To date, our pilot project has cumulatively stored 360,000 tonnes of CO2 while boosting oil and gas output by 150,000 tonnes. This is equivalent to offsetting the annual carbon emissions of about 150,000 cars," said Wang Haisheng, executive director of Southern Petroleum Exploration and Development Corporation.
Building on its successful industrialization of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), the corporation is now pioneering advanced carbon storage technologies.
By refining capture technology and implementing a multi-dimensional monitoring network, the project has achieved long-term and stable CO2 storage, solidifying the foundation for a safe and low-carbon energy system in Hainan.
