The tremors were reportedly felt strongly across central and northern Thailand, including Bangkok.

According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the initial earthquake was followed by a 6.4-magnitude aftershock just 12 minutes later.

As of now, at least 144 people have died, and hundreds have been injured in Myanmar, while in Thailand, at least six people have been killed, and 117 others remain trapped or missing after a skyscraper collapsed in Bangkok.

In response, Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has declared Bangkok a disaster zone and ordered authorities to mobilize emergency response efforts.

Meanwhile, local media reports indicate that the earthquake caused significant damage to infrastructure in Mandalay, Myanmar, including the collapse of the Old Sagaing Bridge, cutting off access between Mandalay and Sagaing.

Myanmar's authorities have also declared a state of emergency.
