Central Myanmar was hit Friday by a powerful 7.7-magnitude quake, according to the United States Geological Survey, with tremors felt across Thailand, as well as in neighboring Chinese provinces.
Forty-three construction workers are missing after the earthquake caused an unfinished 30-storey building in Bangkok to collapse, Thai authorities say.
Fifty people were inside the building near Chatuchak Park, which is hundreds of miles away from the earthquake’s epicentre in Myanmar.
There are fears for dozens of workers after a tower under construction collapsed in Thailand’s capital Bangkok due to two powerful earthquakes in neighbouring Myanmar.
