The powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck Myanmar on March 28, 2025, unleashed energy equivalent to 334 atomic bombs, according to geologist Jess Phoenix. The quake, which occurred near Sagaing city at a shallow depth of 10 km, has resulted in over 1,600 deaths and more than 3,400 injuries. Experts warn that aftershocks may continue for months due to the ongoing collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. The devastation has severely impacted infrastructure, complicating rescue efforts, while authorities remain on high alert for potential further seismic activity. (PC: Foreign Policy)
