A massive 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar on Friday afternoon, according to the US Geological Survey.
The tremor happened around 12:50 p.m. local time, 16 kilometers (10 miles) north northwest of Sagaing, Myanmar, CNN reported.
According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), an aftershock of 6.4 magnitude struck the region roughly 12 minutes after the original quake. There were no immediate reports of damage in Myanmar, which has been in a bloody civil war since 2021, according to CNN.
Residents of neighboring Thailand's capital, Bangkok, flooded out of high-rise buildings. Witnesses reported that the vibrations were strong enough to send water spilling out of pools.
