Myanmar Earthquake Today | Hospitals Overwhelmed As Death Toll Crosses 2000 | Thailand | Rescue OPs

A 5.1-magnitude earthquake struck near Mandalay on Saturday, adding to a series of aftershocks rattling central Myanmar. There were no immediate reports of casualties or significant damage from the aftershock. The death toll of the earthquake that earlier left central Myanmar in ruins has gone up to 2,000 people, the country’s military leaders said on Saturday, as desperate rescue workers raced to find survivors.

Meanwhile, amid the tragedy, the military junta has continued to bomb parts of the war-torn country, according to BBC. The UN has described the attacks as “completely outrageous and unacceptable”. BBC Burmese confirmed that seven people were killed in an air strike in Naungcho in northern Shan state. This strike took place around 15:30 local time, less than three hours after the quake struck.
