A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 7.7 struck Myanmar and parts of Thailand, resulting in over 1,700 confirmed fatalities and significant destruction, particularly in Myanmar and the Bangkok area. Rescue operations are ongoing, with international teams from countries like China, India, Malaysia, Russia, and Thailand actively participating, although the U.S. has not yet deployed a team. The situation remains critical as efforts continue to locate and assist survivors, and the death toll is expected to rise.
