Junta air strike on Myanmar clinic kills 11 including doctor, say locals.
YANGON - A Myanmar junta air strike on a medical clinic in a remote village killed 11 people including a doctor and his wife, locals told AFP. A 2021 military coup has plunged Myanmar into a fractious civil war between the junta, anti-coup guerillas and ethnic armed groups locked in a deadly stalemate over the South-east Asian country. Locals said the air strike on the morning of March 22 hit the village of Hnan Khar in the western region of Magway, in a zone currently held by anti-coup forces.

Death toll — rising above 700 — was likely to grow in the days ahead. In neighboring Thailand, at least six died in Bangkok, where a high-rise under construction collapsed. The full extent of death, injury and destruction was not immediately clear — particularly in Myanmar, which is embroiled in a civil war, and where information is tightly controlled.

SINGAPOREAN – When a ceiling pane shattered and crashed to the ground, Singaporean Erica Liu instinctively ducked under a table with several Thai colleagues, shielding herself from the debris. The deafening noise around her sounded like relentless drilling, but within moments, a voice cut through the chaos: “It is an earthquake! Evacuate now!”
Grabbing a stranger’s hand, the 41-year-old IT specialist sprinted down the stairs from the 16th floor towards open space as tremors rocked Bangkok, where her office building was located.

Friday has caused more than 1,600 deaths and led to the collapse of numerous structures.
Even though south-east Asian nation is a high risk region for earthquakes, neighbouring Thailand & China - which were also affected by the quake - are not. Thai capital, Bangkok, sits more than 1,000km (621 miles) from the epicentre of Friday's earthquake - and yet an unfinished high-rise building in the city was felled by it.
Here we will explain what caused this earthquake, and how it was able to have such a powerful effect so far away.

More than 3.5 million people have been internally displaced and many more driven across the borders amid fighting between the military and a mosaic of armed groups that have seized control of vast swathes of territory.
Fighting continued on Friday, with military jets launching airstrikes and drone attacks shortly after the quake in Karen state, near the headquarters of one of the largest ethnic armed groups, according to the Free Burma Rangers, a relief organisation.
Myanmar’s junta has issued a rare appeal for international aid, and disaster response teams from Russia, China, Singapore and India flying in on Saturday.

Myanmar’s military junta has confirmed in a statement troops opened fire on a Chinese Red Cross convoy on Tuesday as it was en route to assist victims of earthquake that struck Sagaing & Mandalay regions last Friday. Incident occurred at around 9:30pm as convoy, of 9-vehicles, was traveling in northern Shan State’s Nawnghkio Township, the statement by junta spokesperson Maj-Gen Zaw Min Tun said. The location of the attack was near Ohn Ma Thee, a village located around 10 miles southwest of town of Nawnghkio, currently under control of the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA), an ethnic armed group operating in the region.
Area is an active conflict zone, junta warplanes reportedly bombed two nearby villages Monday, injuring five local civilians. According to Zaw Min Tun, military opened fire on the convoy from a distance of about 100-200 meters as vehicles attempted to pass through a security checkpoint. “We attempted to stop convoy, but they refused to stop. After, we fired warning shots from about 100 meters away, & we understand they fled back toward Nawnghkio,” junta spokesperson said in the statement.

Myanmar junta declares quake ceasefire as survivors plead for aid.
SAGAING: Junta announced a temporary ceasefire on Wednesday (Apr 2) as death toll from a devastating earthquake rose & desperate survivors pleaded for more help frantic scenes of try to distribution, the shallow 7.7-magnitude earthquake on Friday flattened buildings across Myanmar, killing nearly 3,000 making thousands more homeless.
Govt said it would observe a ceasefire from Wednesday until Apr 22 to make quake relief efforts easier, after other armed groups fighting the country's bloody four-year civil war made similar pledges. The junta said in a statement the move had "the aim of speeding up relief & reconstruction efforts, & maintaining peace and stability".
But it warned its opponents - a complex array of pro-democracy and ethnic minority armed groups - it would still respond to attacks, acts of sabotage or "gathering, organising, and expanding territory that would undermine peace".
UN agencies, rights groups and foreign governments had earlier urged all sides in Myanmar's civil war to stop fighting and focus on helping those affected by the quake, the biggest to hit the country in decades. The junta said Min Aung Hlaing will travel to Bangkok on Thursday for a summit of South Asian countries plus Myanmar and Thailand, where he will discuss the quake response.
