Earthquake strikes Myanmar, people fall off buildings in neighbouring Thailand

Published on March 28, 2025 at 12:06 PM

A strong earthquake of magnitude 7.7 has struck Myanmar.

The United States Geological Survey, USGS, made this known, adding that hundreds of people poured out of swaying buildings in Bangkok, the capital of neighbouring Thailand 1,400km away.

USGS said the quake, which happened on Friday was shallow, at a depth of just 10km (six miles) with the epicentre near the central city of Mandalay, about 50km (30 miles) east of the city of Monywa.

However, there were no immediate reports of casualty or damage from the earthquake in Myanmar, which is in a state of chaos after a coup in 2021.

The Guardian UK reports that startled residents in central Bangkok poured out of high-rise condominiums and hotels.

There are over 17 million people living in greater Bangkok area with many of them living in high-rise apartments.

The quake was forceful enough to send water sloshing out of pools, some high up in high-rises, as the tremor shook.
