Summary: A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, causing tremors in Bangkok.

A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake hit Myanmar on Friday, triggering strong tremors that were felt as far as Bangkok, Thailand. This occurred in the early hours, raising concerns about potential aftershocks and structural damage.

Since the epicenter of the earthquake was deep underground, its immediate damage was lessened, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Residents in Thailand and Myanmar, meanwhile, were terrified by the powerful tremors and left their houses and buildings in fear.

Major foreign agencies, including AFP, covered the earthquake due of its size. The situation in Myanmar and Thailand is being closely watched by authorities. Experts warn that aftershocks could happen in the coming hours or days, despite the fact that there are now no reports of damage or fatalities.

In Bangkok, where people experienced swaying furniture and trembling buildings, the tremors were extremely powerful. Although no significant damage has been reported, the effect was felt by a number of high-rise office and apartment buildings.

Rescue and disaster management teams are on high alert, assessing the impact of the quake. Officials have advised people in affected areas to stay cautious and be prepared for any further seismic activity.
