An earthquake of magnitude 3.8 hit Myanmar on Monday night. The tremors had been recorded at 5:39 pm, based on the preliminary knowledge. The quake was centred at a depth of 139 km, at a latitude of 24.96 °N and a longitude of 95.12°E.
The Nationwide Centre for Seismology (NCS) gave details about the earthquake on X.
The publish learn, “EQ of M: 3.8, On: 24/11/2025 17:39:51 IST, Lat: 24.96 N, Lengthy: 95.12 E, Depth: 139 km, Location: Myanmar.”
In the meantime, an earthquake of magnitude 3.9 struck Bhutan on Sunday afternoon, based on NCS.
Earlier, on November 16, Myanmar was struck by an earthquake of magnitude 3.5. As per the NCS, the earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10km, making it vulnerable to aftershocks.
Myanmar is weak to hazards from average and enormous magnitude earthquakes and tsunamis alongside its lengthy shoreline. Myanmar is wedged between 4 tectonic plates (the Indian, Eurasian, Sunda, and Burma plates) that work together in energetic geological processes.
Within the aftermath of the magnitude 7.7 and 6.4 earthquakes that struck central Myanmar on March 28, the World Well being Organisation (WHO) warned of a collection of quickly rising well being threats for tens of hundreds of displaced individuals in earthquake-affected areas: tuberculosis (TB), HIV, vector- and water-borne illnesses.
A 1,400-kilometre remodel fault runs by means of Myanmar and connects the Andaman spreading centre to a collision zone within the north referred to as the Sagaing Fault.
The Sagaing Fault will increase the seismic hazard for Sagaing, Mandalay, Bago, and Yangon, which collectively characterize 46 per cent of Myanmar’s inhabitants. Though Yangon is comparatively removed from the fault hint, it nonetheless suffers from vital threat as a consequence of its dense inhabitants. As an example, in 1903, an intense earthquake with a magnitude of seven.0 that occurred in Bago additionally struck Yangon
