Powerful earthquake kills more than 140 in Myanmar, death toll likely to rise A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar on Friday, killing over 140 people and causing widespread destruction, particularly in Mandalay, the country's second-largest city. The quake, followed by several aftershocks, devastated infrastructure, collapsing buildings and bridges. Rescue efforts are underway but hampered by limited resources and continued instability from ongoing conflict. U.S. President Donald Trump has pledged assistance, and USAID disaster experts are prepared to provide essentials such as food and water. The disaster exacerbates an already dire situation in Myanmar, where millions are displaced and in need of aid due to insurgency and economic collapse post-coup. Further casualties are expected as rescue operations continue.
