7.7-Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Myanmar, Shakes Thailand

A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, with significant tremors felt in Bangkok, Thailand, prompting evacuations from high-rise buildings. The quake's epicenter was reported to be located near Sagaing, Myanmar, at a shallow depth of approximately 10 km. In Bangkok, residents experienced swaying buildings and alarming situations, though no immediate reports of damage or casualties emerged. Following the initial quake, a smaller 6.4 magnitude tremor occurred in the same region.

While the earthquake impacted Thailand, information on any damage in Myanmar remains limited due to ongoing civil unrest.
