The situation

A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar on Friday, 28 March 2025 at 12:50 pm (local time). The epicentre, at a depth of 10 km, was located 16 km north-north-west of Sagaing city, and 19 km north-west of Mandalay city, Myanmar’s second largest city. An aftershock of magnitude 6.4 on the Richter scale was registered at 13:02 (local time). Strong tremors were also felt in neighbouring countries, including Thailand. According to the Department of Meteorology and Hydrological (DMH), as of 31 March, 46 aftershocks were recorded with different magnitudes and depth. As of 29 March 2025, the official death toll stood at over 1,600, with 3,408 people injured and over 200 people missing. According to early modelling by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), these numbers are expected to rise further as search and rescue operations continue and the final death toll could surpass 10,000 people.
