On March 28, 2025, a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck northwest of Sagaing, Myanmar, at a shallow depth of 10 km, causing widespread devastation. Over 1,000 people have been confirmed dead, with 2,376 injured in Myanmar’s Mandalay region. In Thailand, tremors caused a high-rise under construction near Bangkok's Chatuchak market to collapse, killing at least 10 and trapping up to 100 workers. Rescue efforts are ongoing as aftershocks continue to hamper relief operations. International aid, including emergency supplies from India, is being mobilized to support the affected areas.
