According to preliminary data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the epicenter of the earthquake was located in a mountainous area in eastern Myanmar, near the border with Thailand, at a depth of approximately 10 kilometers, which increases its destructive potential.

The tremor was felt with great intensity in several major cities such as Yangon, Chiang Mai, and Bangkok, where many residents ran out of their homes during the shaking.

Damage and casualties

So far, local authorities have not confirmed the exact number of victims or injuries, but partial building collapses, power outages, and communication failures have been reported in areas near the epicenter. Rescue teams are already mobilized in the affected areas.
