ISRO Details Myanmar Quake's Extensive Damage

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has released high-resolution satellite images from its Cartosat-3 satellite, depicting the extensive damage caused by a recent 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar. The earthquake, centered near Mandalay, resulted in significant destruction to infrastructure, including the collapse of the Ava Bridge over the Irrawaddy River, Mandalay University, and the Ananda Pagoda. ISRO highlighted the region's vulnerability due to the movement of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates, which often leads to significant seismic activity. The quake's impact was felt beyond Myanmar, affecting neighboring countries like Thailand. India has responded with humanitarian aid, deploying naval ships and aircraft to deliver relief materials to affected areas.
