Rescue efforts are under way in Taiwan after a powerful earthquake brought down eight buildings in the country's south.

Two people have died in a collapsed building.

Hundreds of rescuers are at the scene.

This morning's magnitude 6.4 quake was centred southeast of Tainan, which is home to almost two million people.

At least 126 people have been rescued from a collapsed building.

More than 120,000 homes are without power in southern Taiwan.
