On March 28, 2025, a powerful earthquake occurred in the countries of Southeast Asia, whose magnitude was 7.7. According to the US Geological Service (USGS), the Epicenter of the Earthquake was recorded northwest of Sagine, Myanmar, about 100 kilometers north of the country's capital, Pydido.
The earthquake proved to be extremely powerful and caused serious shocks in certain areas, in particular in neighboring countries. One of the most victims was Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, where a number of high -rise buildings were destroyed. The city also underwent serious destruction, damaged bridges and roads, which complicated traffic.
In addition, there were several strong aftershots, whose magnitude reached 6.4. This has caused additional alarm among local residents, especially in areas closer to the Epicenter of the Earthquake.
One of the most tragic news was that at least 43 workers were under the rubble of the altitude building in Bangkok. It is known that they have blocked during construction work, and rescue operations are currently underway. Search and rescue teams work on the spot, but there is no information about the number of casualties.
Bangkok has announced an emergency regime, and the country's government mobilized all the necessary resources to eliminate the consequences of a natural disaster. Local authorities have asked international organizations to provide assistance in the form of humanitarian support and rescue resources.
Despite significant destruction, there are no reports of the death of people in Myanmar. However, due to heavy access to some affected areas, information may be incomplete.
An earthquake of this scale is a serious challenge for Southeast Asia, and the effects of the disaster will continue to be felt at the economic and social levels for a long time. The region's authorities are working to assist the victims and restore the destroyed infrastructure.
