Strong Earthquake Strikes Border Region
A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit near the China–Myanmar border early Monday,
shaking homes and cities across Southeast Asia. Seismologists called it “one of the most forceful quakes the region has endured in recent decades.”
The USGS reported it struck about 10 kilometers deep, intensifying the destruction felt across southern China, northern Thailand, and Myanmar.
Residents described the ground “rolling like waves” as buildings cracked and lights flickered.
Thousands fled into the streets in panic.
Power outages, damaged roads, and broken communication lines worsened the chaos.
Authorities confirmed dozens dead and hundreds injured, with many still trapped under debris.
Hospitals are overwhelmed as rescue teams battle aftershocks and blocked roads.
“Every second counts,” said Dr. Li Wei, a disaster relief coordinator, as teams race to find survivors.
Amid tragedy, moments of hope surfaced — a child rescued alive from a collapsed school.
