A powerful earthquake struck in southern Taiwan Saturday, toppling buildings and leaving at least eight people dead and hundreds more injured, officials said.

The 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck about 30 miles east of Tainan, a city of around 2 million, just before 4 a.m. (3 p.m. Friday E.T.), the U.S. Geological Survey said. At least 462 people were hurt, Taiwan's Central Emergency Operation Center said.

Nine building collapsed in the temblor, which also caused at least five to tilt at alarming angles. Eight people were still missing, Taiwan's National Fire Agency said.
