Myanmar Rattled Again: 5.5 Quake Strikes Near Meiktila Weeks After Deadly 7.7 Earthquake | Watch

A 5.5-magnitude earthquake hit central Myanmar near Meiktila on Sunday, marking one of the strongest aftershocks since the deadly March 28 temblor that killed over 3,600.

The quake struck as the country entered its Thingyan holiday, compounding a humanitarian crisis worsened by the earlier 7.7 quake and ongoing civil war.

No casualties have been reported so far, but minor damage and panic were reported in Wundwin township.

Relief efforts continue amid growing fears of food shortages, health risks, and political suppression of information in quake-hit zones.
