An earthquake of 4.5 magnitude jolted Myanmar on Friday, the Nationwide Heart for Seismology (NCS) mentioned.
As per the NCS, the earthquake occurred at a depth of 101 km.
In a publish on X, the NCS mentioned, “EQ of M: 4.5, On: 11/07/2025 05:56:04 IST, Lat: 25.76 N, Lengthy: 95.26 E, Depth: 101 Km, Location: Myanmar.”
Earlier on July 7, an earthquake of magnitude 4.6 on the Richter Scale jolted the area.
Sharing the main points of the earthquake on X, NCS mentioned, “EQ of M: 4.6, On: 07/07/2025 10:40:20 IST, Lat: 24.78 N, Lengthy: 94.85 E, Depth: 85 Km, Location: Myanmar.”
On July 3, one other earthquake of magnitude 4.1 struck Myanmar. As per the NCS, the earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10km, making it vulnerable to aftershocks.
In a publish on X, the NCS mentioned, ” EQ of M: 4.1, On: 03/07/2025 06:10:48 IST, Lat: 22.01 N, Lengthy: 95.58 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Myanmar.”
Shallow earthquakes are usually extra harmful than deep earthquakes. It’s because the seismic waves from shallow earthquakes have a shorter distance to journey to the floor, leading to stronger floor shaking and doubtlessly extra injury to buildings and larger casualties.
Within the aftermath of the magnitude 7.7 and 6.4 earthquakes that struck central Myanmar on March 28, the World Well being Group (WHO) warned of a sequence of quickly rising well being threats for tens of 1000’s of displaced folks in earthquake-affected areas: tuberculosis (TB), HIV, vector- and water-borne ailments.
Myanmar is weak to hazards from reasonable and enormous magnitude earthquakes, together with tsunami hazards alongside its lengthy shoreline.
The Sagaing Fault elevates the seismic hazard for Sagaing, Mandalay, Bago, and Yangon, which collectively characterize 46 per cent of the inhabitants of Myanmar. Though Yangon is comparatively removed from the fault hint, it nonetheless suffers from important threat as a result of its dense inhabitants. For example, in 1903, an intense earthquake with a magnitude of seven.0 that occurred in Bago additionally struck Yangon.
