A natural disaster is always followed by a series of property damage and often times even human fatalities. One such calamity happened in southeast Asia and mainly affected Myanmar and Thailand.
Going into the story, a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar on March 28, 2025, causing widespread destruction. The earthquake, centered near Mandalay and it seriously damaged buildings, historical sites, and infrastructure.
Several largest scale buildings, and high-rise apartments were seen shaking due to the impact of the quake. The Myanmar military declared a state of emergency in six regions and called for international aid.
The earthquake’s impact extended beyond Myanmar, with tremors felt in India(minorly) and China. In Bangkok, Thailand, a 34-story building under construction collapsed, killing several people and trapping dozens. Rescue efforts continue amid fears of aftershocks, as authorities assess damage and provide emergency assistance to affected communities.
The exact number of fatalities and property damage done are yet to be established and more details will emerge the due course. For now, we pray for the well-being of the affected individuals and families.
