According to sources, relief packages include tents, sleeping bags, blankets, ready-to-eat meals, water purifiers, sanitation kits, solar lights, generator sets and essential medications such as paracetamol, antibiotics, syringes, syringes, gloves and bandages.
The tremor, including the 7.2-magnitude earthquake, caused structural damage and panic in Myanmar and neighboring Thailand.
According to the National Center for Seismology (NCS), a magnitude 4.2 earthquake on the Richter scale shocked Myanmar at 11:56 pm on Friday.
According to the NCS, the latest earthquake occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers, making it susceptible to aftershocks.
NCS reported earthquakes recorded at latitude 22.15 N and longitude 95.41 E.
The National Center for Seismology wrote in a post about X: “M: 4.2, on: 28/03/2025 23:56:29 IST, LAT: 22.15 N, LONG: 95.41 E, DEPTH: 10 km, location, location, location: Myanmar.”
Myanmar was shocked earlier in the day by a series of tremors, including a major earthquake of magnitude 7.2 on the Richter scale, which occurred at 11:50 a.m. (local time). In several areas of Bangkok and Thailand, strong tremors were felt, with witness reports and local media accounts noting that hundreds of people rushed out of the swinging buildings in Bangkok.
Several articles on social media show that water splashed out of the pool due to the intensity of the earthquake.
According to the NCS, a magnitude 7.2 earthquake hit a depth of 10 kilometers and was recorded at latitude 21.93 N and longitude 96.07 EE
In an article on X, NCS said: “M: 7.2, Open: 28/03/2025 11:50:52 IST, LAT: 21.93 N, Long: 96.07 E, Depth: 10 km: 10 km, Location, Location: Myanmar.”
The earthquake at around 11:50 am IST followed by a magnitude 6.4 aftershock. The National Center for Seismology said that a magnitude 4.9 earthquake on the Richter scale hit Myanmar, noting that it was the third aftershock, after the first magnitude 7.2 on the Richter scale.
The publication said that the 30-story skyscraper built in the Chachuk area also collapsed due to the earthquake.
According to Nation News, the National Institute of Emergency Medicine in Thailand was cited to put 43 workers into the base building.
Videos obtained by CNN from Myanmar appear to show a road bridge across the Irrawaddy River, which passes through Mandalay and pours into the river in dust and water clouds.
