Taipei, Taiwan—A 6.0-magnitude earthquake hit Taiwan on Tuesday, the US Geological Survey said, injuring 27 people and causing ceilings of homes to cave in according to local authorities.
The health ministry said a total of 27 people were injured, while the Nanxi district fire brigade said “no major damage” had been reported. Taiwan is frequently hit by earthquakes due to its location on the edges of two tectonic plates near the Pacific Ring of Fire, which USGS says is the most seismically active zone in the world.
