The report also mentioned that such an earthquake could lead to a tsunami causing widespread devastation, with an estimated 298,000 casualties in Japan.
Earthquake In Myanmar
Last week, an earthquake that struck Myanmar and Bangkok, Thailand’s capital, caused significant devastation. In addition to these two countries, tremors were also felt in India that day.
In Bangkok, a multi-story building under construction collapsed, while in Myanmar, millions of people were left homeless. As debris is cleared in Myanmar, the death toll continues to rise.
According to the Associated Press report, the death toll from the devastating earthquake that struck last week has exceeded 3,000. The Indian government has sent relief supplies, rescue teams, and medical equipment to Myanmar using five military aircraft to assist the affected people. Several countries, including China, have also sent relief materials to Myanmar.
