A moderate earthquake measuring 4.1 on the Richter scale struck Myanmar on Friday morning. The National Center for Seismology (NCS) reported the quake occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers, raising fears of aftershocks. This comes just weeks after a devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake hit Myanmar on March 28, killing over 36,000 people and injuring more than 5,000. Hundreds remain missing under the rubble of collapsed buildings.

The death toll from the earthquake that struck Myanmar has risen to 3,354, with an additional 4,508 people injured. Moreover, 220 individuals remain missing. The United Nations humanitarian agency has renewed its call to the global community for assistance to the country.

In the aftermath of the earthquake, rescue teams have been deployed to Myanmar by China, Russia, India, and Bangladesh. Typically, the United States leads global efforts in disaster response and humanitarian aid. However, following the cessation of operations by the Trump-led U.S. aid agency, USAID, Washington has pledged $9 million in support to Myanmar. Despite this, the U.S. made it clear that the notion of always leading disaster recovery efforts worldwide is unrealistic.

A devastating earthquake in Myanmar has claimed 3,003 lives so far, with 4,639 reported injuries and over a hundred people still missing. The junta administration has warned that the death toll could rise further. Bianca Drogsch, deputy head of the German Embassy in Yangon, told Deutsche Welle that the number of casualties is expected to increase significantly. “In Mandalay alone, fatalities could range from 10,000 to 100,000,” she said.

The death toll from the powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar has surpassed 2,700. Former imam of the Mayoma Mosque, Soe Nai, has lost 170 of his family members and loved ones in the disaster. Reports indicate that three mosques in the Sagaing region collapsed, including the largest, Mayoma Mosque. Many worshippers inside these mosques were killed.

In the following days, Soe Nai received one heartbreaking news after another—the deaths of his relatives, friends, and former colleagues, most of whom perished inside the mosque. “Among the deceased are small children,” he said.

On Monday, Myanmar’s military leader Min Aung Hlaing stated that nearly 500 worshippers died when mosques collapsed during prayers.

A devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake has struck Myanmar, marking the country’s deadliest quake in a century. The disaster has leveled ancient Buddhist pagodas and modern buildings alike. Military chief Min Aung Hlaing confirmed that the death toll has reached 2,719 and could exceed 3,000. Reports indicate that 4,521 people are injured, and 441 remain missing. The UN humanitarian agency confirmed that a collapsed primary school in Mandalay claimed the lives of 50 children and two teachers. Survivors in the hardest-hit areas are struggling with shortages of food, water, and shelter. Meanwhile, the International Rescue Committee reported that many are sleeping on the streets out of fear. The earthquake's impact has also been felt in Bangkok, where 13 deaths have been confirmed.

The death toll from the 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar has surpassed 2,000, with over 3,400 injured and more than 200 people still missing. In response to the disaster, the government has declared a seven-day national mourning period starting Monday, during which the national flag will be flown at half-mast.

Meanwhile, in Thailand, the death toll has risen to 19, with 75 individuals still unaccounted for. On Monday, rescue teams in Mandalay pulled four people alive from the rubble, including a pregnant woman and a child. A Chinese rescue team also successfully saved an individual using a thermal blanket.

Myanmar’s ongoing civil war has made it difficult to deliver aid to many affected areas. Rebel groups have accused the military of continuing airstrikes even after the earthquake, further exacerbating the crisis.

Myanmar’s junta chief, Min Aung Hlaing, announced on Sunday that at least 1,700 people have died, and over 3,500 have been injured due to the earthquake. Additionally, 300 people remain missing, and the death toll is expected to rise. Rescue operations are ongoing, but progress is slow as most efforts rely on local residents who lack proper equipment. Many rescuers are forced to clear rubble with their bare hands due to a shortage of heavy machinery. Although several countries have sent rescue teams, disrupted communication and infrastructure have made it difficult to reach the hardest-hit areas. The earthquake has also claimed at least 17 lives in Thailand. Thousands of buildings have collapsed in both countries, and roads, bridges, and power supplies have been severely affected.

Myanmar's government has reported 1,644 deaths from the recent earthquake, with over 3,500 injured. Many remain missing, and bodies are still being recovered from the rubble. In response, Myanmar’s anti-junta resistance group PDF has announced a temporary ceasefire to facilitate relief operations. The U.S. Geological Survey warns that the death toll could surpass 10,000.

While Myanmar struggles to recover from a devastating earthquake that has killed 1,700 people, the country’s military junta has launched airstrikes on rebel groups. UN special rapporteur Tom Andrews condemned the attacks, stating, "While everyone is focused on rescue efforts, the military is dropping bombs. This is absolutely unacceptable." The airstrikes killed seven people in Shan State’s Naung Cho, occurring just three hours after the earthquake. The military also conducted aerial attacks near the Thailand border.

The death toll from Friday’s 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar has surged to 1,002, according to the country’s military government. Thirty people remain missing, and over 1,600 have been injured. Images from hospitals show patients lying outside as facilities struggle to accommodate the wounded. Many victims, covered in dust and blood, arrived from remote areas via cars and pickup trucks. The earthquake also caused significant damage to infrastructure, including roads and hospitals. Myanmar’s military chief Min Aung Hlaing has visited hospitals to assess the situation.

A powerful earthquake centered in Myanmar shook Southeast Asia on Friday. In Myanmar alone, over 144 people have lost their lives, and 732 have been injured. Meanwhile, in Bangkok, a high-rise building collapsed due to the earthquake, with rescue teams searching for those trapped under the rubble. As a result, 117 people are missing, and 5 have been confirmed dead.

A powerful earthquake struck Southeast Asia on Friday, causing a construction site collapse in Bangkok and several buildings to crumble in Myanmar’s Mandalay, resulting in at least 20 deaths. Additionally, an old bridge over the Irrawaddy River collapsed, and many residential buildings were destroyed, trapping numerous people under the debris. Mandalay Airport and a monastery in Taunggyi suffered severe damage. Reports indicate a fire at Mandalay University, with concerns of casualties. In Bangkok, one body was recovered from the rubble of the collapsed building, while several workers were rescued alive. Authorities have declared a state of emergency in six regions of Myanmar and Bangkok. The earthquake, measuring 7.7 on the Richter scale, caused significant structural damage across Bangkok, including the collapse of a 30-story under-construction skyscraper in the city’s north.

Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh’s camps are undergoing military training in Myanmar’s jungles, preparing for a return to their homeland.

According to British newspaper The Independent, Rohingya fighters are frequently relocating training camps to avoid detection. Commanders claim they are preparing to fight both Myanmar’s military junta and rival rebel groups.

One trainee, Mohammad Ayas, stated: “I am ready to fight for our rights, freedom, and homeland, no matter the cost.” Reports suggest that over 1,000 Rohingya youth have already received training.

At least 27 people were killed and 30 injured in an airstrike by Myanmar’s military junta in Mandalay province on Friday night. The attack occurred at 3:00 AM in the Let Pan Hlya village of Singu township, around 65 kilometers from Mandalay. A spokesperson from the Mandalay People’s Defense Force, which is fighting the junta, confirmed the deaths. The airstrike is part of the ongoing armed rebellion that began following the military coup in 2021, which led to the ousting of the civilian government led by Aung San Suu Kyi.

An Argentine court has issued arrest warrants against Myanmar’s junta leader Min Aung Hlaing and ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity against the Rohingya. Myanmar has criticized the ruling. The case was filed by a Rohingya advocacy group in Argentina, and junta spokesperson Min Tun dismissed the decision, urging Argentina to first address its own judicial vacancies before interfering in Myanmar’s affairs.
