A 6.8-magnitude earthquake occurred in the east of Taiwan.

APA, the island's central news agency, released the report.

As a result of the incident, at least one person died and 79 people were injured.

The aftershocks damaged bridges, roads, buildings and infrastructure.

A worker at a cement plant in Yuyili Township, Hualien Province, died under the debris.

In that settlement, a three-story house, where the shopping center operates, collapsed.

Four people, including a woman and a five-year-old girl, were buried under the rubble.

Rescuers took more than three hours to remove them.
