Now Taiwan is in ruins! Powerful M6.4 earthquake destroys buildings in Chiayi

A magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck Taiwan early Tuesday near the city of Chiayi. Local media reported the quake shook buildings in the capital, Taipei. The quake had a depth of 9.4 km (5.9 miles) with its epicenter in Dapu township in Chiayi county, and struck shortly after midnight.

Taiwan's weather agency confirmed the quake and noted minor damage in its initial report. Meanwhile, AFP reported that Taiwan is frequently hit by earthquakes due to its location on the edge of two tectonic plates near the Pacific Ring of Fire, the world’s most seismically active zone.
