A powerful earthquake has rocked central Myanmar, causing tremors and aftershocks across hundreds of miles of south-east Asia. It toppled a building in Thai capital, Bangkok, and sparked a race to save civilians and infrastructure near the epicenter, reports CNN.
The quake hit near Mandalay, Myanmar's second-largest city and home to more than a million people, but assessing the impact is difficult in a country in the throes of civil war, and where internet freedom has been throttled.
Myanmar has declared a national emergency while Thailand has declared Bangkok an emergency zone.
