Hazardous tsunami waves are possible along coastlines within a 300-kilometer radius of a 6.9-magnitude earthquake that hit southeastern Taiwan on Sunday, the United States Geological Survey has said.

Japan's Meteorological Agency has issued a tsunami warning for Miyako island in the East China Sea following the quake, which hit the Yujing district in rural Taiwan and had a depth of 10 kilometers. Photos showed collapsed buildings in southern Taiwan following the powerful earthquake. The USGS initially registered it at 7.2, before downgrading it to 6.9. Three people are trapped under the rubble of one building, the island's official Central News Agency reported.
