A powerful earthquake has struck Myanmar causing tremors that were felt in parts of neighboring India. Residents reported shaking in urban and rural areas prompting evacuations and emergency responses. Initial assessments indicated damage to buildings and infrastructure in affected regions.
Authorities in Myanmar activated disaster response mechanisms while Indian officials monitored the situation along border areas. Emergency teams were deployed to assess casualties and structural damage. Communication challenges in remote areas have complicated early reporting.
Seismologists noted that the region is prone to seismic activity due to complex tectonic boundaries. Humanitarian agencies emphasized the need for rapid assessments and potential cross border assistance. The quake highlights ongoing disaster preparedness challenges in a region vulnerable to natural hazards.
