On March 28, 2025, a strong earthquake of magnitude 7.9 occurred in Myanmar, with a depth of 30 kilometers. The epicenter was located at 21.85 degrees north latitude and 95.95 degrees east longitude, approximately 294 kilometers from the China-Yunnan border. Just 12 minutes later, at 14:32, Myanmar experienced another aftershock of magnitude 6.4, also at a depth of 30 kilometers. The earthquake caused road collapses and severe damage to buildings, resulting in heavy casualties!
It is reported that this earthquake is the 17th earthquake of magnitude 6 or higher globally this year, and it is also the largest earthquake of the year!
This earthquake affected multiple countries and regions including Bangladesh, India, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Ruili in Yunnan, China, causing widespread seismic sensations and varying degrees of shaking in several cities.
According to eyewitnesses, many buildings in Myanmar collapsed, major thoroughfares were severely damaged, vehicles were congested, and the streets were chaotic. Mr. Zhu, a Chinese resident in Yangon, revealed, "Many buildings here have collapsed, and I estimate that the casualties are very severe this time!"
The sudden onset of the earthquake caught many unprepared residents off guard, instantly plunging them into panic. For those hidden in Thai apartments, Myanmar parks, and along the Thai-Myanmar border, it was a shocking moment!
It is rumored that after this earthquake, several dog pushers working in offices in Thailand have gone missing! They have not been contacted yet! It is unknown whether they were involved in an accident during the earthquake!
Especially for a country like Thailand, which rarely experiences earthquakes, many Thais have never experienced an earthquake in their lifetime and were greatly frightened by this event. Many buildings in Bangkok swayed during the earthquake, causing hundreds of people to panic and rush out of buildings, filling the streets of Bangkok, almost all with pale faces.
