Rescue teams in Myanmar pulled a 26-year-old man alive from the rubble five days after a devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake killed over 3,000 people. Officials reported 4,521 injuries and 441 still missing. Myanmar’s fire department confirmed 403 rescues and 259 bodies recovered in Mandalay alone. A monastery collapse killed 50 Buddhist monks, and over 10,000 buildings were destroyed. The tremors reached Thailand, causing a high-rise collapse in Bangkok that killed 21. “There is a narrow chance for survival after 72 hours,” said military leader Min Aung Hlaing. Rescue teams continue urgent searches. (PC: AFP)
