A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake hit Myanmar, with significant death tolls and extensive damage reported throughout Southeast Asia. The quake struck near Sagaing, Myanmar, causing buildings to collapse in cities such as Bangkok and Mandalay. The internet shutdown by Myanmar’s junta has made it difficult to assess the full extent of the damage, but estimates suggest the death toll could exceed 1,000. The earthquake, rare for mainland Southeast Asia, has exacerbated the existing humanitarian crisis in Myanmar. A 6.4 magnitude aftershock followed the initial quake, causing further concern for the region. The aftermath of the disaster has prompted response efforts, with Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra declaring an emergency in Bangkok and hospitals struggling to treat the injured in Mandalay. The impact of the earthquake has been widespread, with buildings collapsing, roads buckling, and citizens afraid of potential aftershocks. As the region grapples with the aftermath of the earthquake, the focus remains on providing aid to those affected and rebuilding the damaged areas.
