A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar on March 28, 2025, causing massive destruction and disrupting essential infrastructure. The air traffic control tower at Naypyitaw International Airport collapsed due to the tremors, forcing authorities to divert all flights to Yangon. The disaster has led to over 1,600 deaths and thousands of injuries nationwide. Rescue teams, including international aid workers, are rushing to assist affected regions. The collapse of key infrastructure like airports is severely hampering relief efforts. Authorities continue to assess the full impact of the earthquake as aftershocks pose ongoing risks.
