New Delhi: We had not forgotten the disaster of the earthquake that struck Myanmar a few days ago, but once again, the tremors of the earthquake refreshed the memories of the wounds. Tremors of the quake were felt in Myanmar, and significant buildings were shaken. The intensity of the quake was 5.5. Its epicenter was near Wundwin township between Mandalay and the capital Naypyidaw.
This earthquake is considered more potent than the earthquake felt on March 28, 2025. According to the Myanmar Meteorological Department, its epicenter was 20 kilometers deep below the ground when the US Geological Survey reported it to be at a depth of 7.7 kilometers. The earthquake occurred when the three-day Thingyan festival began in the country. This is an occasion to celebrate the traditional New Year. However, all public programs for this festival were already canceled.
People came out of their homes.
When the earthquake’s tremors were felt on Sunday afternoon, people came out of their homes in panic. However, some roofs have been damaged. Some people in Naypyidaw said that they did not feel the tremor. People have given important information on the condition of anonymity. People said that the country’s military government keeps strict control over information.
The United Nations has also recently issued a big warning. The March earthquake will further increase the humanitarian crisis in the country. Agriculture has also been affected by this. Health services are also in crisis, as many hospitals have been destroyed.
