🌏 Powerful Quake Strikes China–Myanmar Border
A massive 7.7-magnitude earthquake shook the China–Myanmar border early Monday, toppling buildings, splitting roads, and leaving dozens dead with hundreds injured. The tremor was felt as far as northern Thailand, where cities like Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai saw mass evacuations.
Rescue teams are racing to pull survivors from rubble, though blocked roads, landslides, and power outages complicate efforts. Hospitals are overwhelmed, and many rural areas remain cut off.
Authorities warn aftershocks could cause further damage, while international aid is being mobilized to provide food, shelter, and medical support. Amid the devastation, stories of courage and community resilience are emerging.
