The death toll from Myanmar’s devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake has reached 2,056, with more than 3,900 injured, according to the military junta. Over 270 people remain missing. Mandalay, one of the worst-hit cities, saw thousands camping in streets due to collapsed homes and aftershocks. The junta has declared a week of mourning until April 6. International reports confirm casualties in neighboring Thailand, where a 30-story building collapsed. "The situation is dire," said a local official. With damaged infrastructure and poor communications, the true extent of the disaster is still unfolding. Rescue operations continue. (PC: Reuters)
