According to ANI, shallow earthquakes are more dangerous than deeper earthquakes because they have greater energy, which causes the ground to shake more violently than deeper earthquakes and can cause greater damage to structures and casualties.
A statement from the NCS said earlier, several earthquakes shocked Myanmar. India has also expanded its help to neighboring countries.
