Damage and roadblocks caused by landslides have also been reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck at 12:17 a.m. (16:17 UTC) on Monday. The epicenter was located about 12 km (7.6 miles) from Yujing, near Tainan, in eastern Taiwan. The earthquake occurred approximately 10 kilometers below the surface, making it a shallow quake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At least 27 people have been injured, according to Taiwan&#8217;s Ministry of Health and Welfare. The majority of injuries, 16, were reported in Tainan City. No fatalities have been reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The earthquake caused damage to buildings and homes in the epicentral area, according to TVBS. A number of homes were reported to have partially collapsed or sustained major damage. Several landslides and rockfalls triggered by the earthquake caused significant blockages on highways and roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taiwan has a history of devastating earthquakes. Last year, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake in western Taiwan left 18 people dead\u2014most due to rockfalls\u2014and over 1,100 injured.
