Earthquake strikes southern Taiwan

In Taiwan, a 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck the southern region early on Tuesday, leaving 15 people with minor injuries.

Taiwan's Central Weather Administration recorded, the quake struck at 12:17 a.m. roughly 38 kilometers southeast of Chiayi county hall, and with a depth of 9.7 kilometers.

A 5.2-magnitude aftershock also occurred over an hour after the initial quake.

The tremor resulted in 15 minor injuries, with six people rescued from a collapsed house in Nanxi District, Tainan City.

Workers in this district, including those in the TSMC factory, have reportedly been evacuated.

Last April, Taiwan suffered its strongest earthquake in 25 years, a 7.4 magnitude quake near Hualien City that led to at least 18 deaths.
