On 28 March 2025 at 12:50:54 MMT (06:20:54 UTC), a Mw 7.7–7.9 earthquake struck the Sagaing Region of Myanmar, with an epicenter close to Mandalay, the country's second-largest city. The strike-slip shock achieved a maximum Modified Mercalli intensity of X (Extreme). It was the most powerful earthquake to strike Myanmar since 1912,[1] and the second deadliest in Myanmar's modern history, surpassed only by upper estimates of the 1930 Bago earthquake.[2] The earthquake caused extensive damage in Myanmar and significant damage in neighboring Thailand. Hundreds of homes were also damaged in Yunnan, China, while more than 400 apartments were affected in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
The earthquake directly killed up to 5,350 people in Myanmar and 51 in Thailand, while one person died from shock in Vietnam.[3][4][5] Up to 11,400 people were injured and hundreds more were reported missing, including at a collapsed construction site in Bangkok, whose shallow geology makes it more vulnerable to seismic waves from far away and increases the city's susceptibility to earthquake-related impacts.[6][7] Authorities in both Myanmar and Thailand declared a state of emergency.[8][9] As the earthquake struck during Friday prayer hours, collapsing mosques resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Muslims.[10] In addition, more than 8,300 monasteries, nunneries and pagodas were destroyed by the quake.[11] The ongoing civil war in Myanmar has exacerbated the difficulty of disaster relief and info exposure.[12][13] It is the deadliest earthquake globally since the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquakes.[14]
