In the quiet hours of Monday morning, a violent 7.7-magnitude earthquake jolted the China–Myanmar border region, leaving devastation in its wake.
The quake struck just 10 kilometers underground, shaking southern China, northern Thailand, and Myanmar. Whole towns were rattled—homes crumbled, streets cracked, and frightened residents rushed outside barefoot, still half-asleep.
At least dozens have been confirmed dead, hundreds injured, and many more remain trapped beneath collapsed buildings. In northern Thailand, cities like Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai saw panicked evacuations as aftershocks rippled through the region.
Rescue teams now face collapsed roads, power outages, and broken communication lines as they work around the clock to deliver aid. Shelters are being set up, survivors treated, and emergency crews continue searching through the rubble.
This disaster has left scars across multiple countries, and the coming hours will be critical. Lives hang in the balance, and international support will be vital in helping survivors recover from the catastrophe.
