In nearby Yuli town, a cement factory worker died and the three-storey building, which had a 7-11 convenience store on the ground floor and residences above it, collapsed, the island's Central News Agency said. The top two storeys of the building were left sprawled across a small street and onto the other side, with electricity wires pulled down by the fallen structure.
