Powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake hits Myanmar; tremors felt in Thailand

A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Mandalay, Myanmar, on Friday, with tremors reaching as far as Bangkok, Thailand, and the northern city of Chiang Mai. Videos have surfaced showing widespread destruction in both countries. One clip captures an under-construction building collapsing in Bangkok’s Chatuchak Market, while another shows the iconic Ava Bridge, which connects Myanmar’s Ava and Sagaing regions, falling. No tsunami alert has been issued. Just 12 minutes after the initial quake, a strong aftershock measuring 6.4 magnitude struck Myanmar’s Sagaing region.
