A devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, primarily affecting the Mandalay region, resulting in a death toll nearing 700 and injuring approximately 1,700 individuals. The tremors, felt as far as Bangkok, triggered severe destruction, collapsing buildings and infrastructure. In Bangkok, a construction site tragedy claimed at least 10 lives, with many still unaccounted for. With communication networks down, the full extent of the disaster remains unclear, prompting fears that the death toll may continue to rise as rescue operations proceed amidst challenging conditions.
