An earthquake of magnitude 7.7 struck Myanmar on March 28, 2025, followed by a strong aftershock of magnitude 6.4. The epicenter of the quake was located near Mandalay, Myanmar’s second-largest city, which experienced severe damage. The earthquake also rattled the capital Naypyidaw and other regions, resulting in the collapse of infrastructure, roads and residential buildings. The tremors were felt not only in Myanmar but also in neighboring countries. The shockwaves were strong enough to be felt as far as Chiang Mai and northern parts of Thailand, where residents reported damages.
