Myanmar quake toll nears 150; junta chief calls for foreign aid
At least 144 people have been killed in Myanmar by the massive earthquake that hit earlier today, the country’s junta chief says, inviting “any country, any organization” to help with relief.
The 7.7-magnitude quake caused widespread destruction across the war-torn country and the death toll is expected to rise, ruler Min Aung Hlaing says in a speech aired on state media. The quake also hit nearby Thailand, with several casualties reported there as well.
