Earthquake in Taiwan kills two and injures 114

A 6.4-magnitude quake on the east coast of Taiwan has left two dead and more than 100 injured after buildings were toppled and a hotel collapsed.

Premier William Lai said two people had died in the port city of Hualien and 114 were injured, some seriously. He gave no further details.

The national fire agency said at least four buildings had fallen or been damaged. Footage showed roads strewn with rubble, cracks in highways, the collapsed Marshal Hotel crumpled into the ground and rescuers trying to pull people to safety.
