      TAIPEI, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) -- Two people were killed and 219 were injured by 7:30 a.m. Wednesday after a 6.5-magnitude earthquake hit Taiwan.

      According to the China Earthquake Networks Center (CENC), the earthquake jolted waters near Taiwan's Hualien County at 11:50 p.m. Tuesday.

      The epicenter was monitored at 24.13 degrees north latitude and 121.71 degrees east longitude, with a depth of 11 kilometers, said CENC.

      The victims include a 66-year-old male and a 60-year-old female.

      The earthquake was felt across Taiwan, with some buildings, roads and bridges in Hualien damaged.

      The earthquake also caused 200 households out of power and 35,000 households out of water supply, the fire agency said.

      According to the Taiwan's emergency operation center, a total of four buildings have partially collapsed or tilted, including Marshal Hotel, Yun Tsui building and two residential buildings.

      The quake caused the Marshal Hotel in Hualien to cave in, with its first two floors fallen into the ground.
