A powerful magnitude-7.7 earthquake struck Myanmar on March 28, causing widespread panic and devastation. The tremors were so intense that they were felt in Bangkok, Thailand, where a building under construction collapsed, resulting in casualties.
High-rise buildings across the Thai capital swayed as the quake shook the city, prompting residents and workers to evacuate. Emergency services are on the scene of the collapse in Bangkok, with rescue operations underway to find and assist those affected.
In Myanmar, the military government has declared a state of emergency in six regions severely impacted by the earthquake. Authorities are mobilizing resources to assist victims and assess the full extent of the damage.
Residents in both countries are urged to stay alert for aftershocks and follow instructions from local authorities. Our thoughts are with all those affected by this tragic event.
