In the early hours of Monday, a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck near the China–Myanmar border, shaking the region without warning. The shallow quake, just 10 km deep, sent shockwaves across southern China, northern Thailand, and Myanmar.
Towns were jolted awake as buildings crumbled and terrified residents fled barefoot into the streets. Initial reports confirm dozens dead, hundreds injured, and many feared trapped beneath rubble. Major Thai cities like Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai saw mass evacuations as the tremors reached far beyond the epicenter.
Rescue teams are racing against time amid damaged roads, power outages, and severed communications. Emergency workers are providing urgent shelter, medical aid, and support. As the full scale of the destruction unfolds, calls grow for international aid. The coming hours will be critical in saving lives and bringing relief to those impacted by this devastating natural disaster.
