At least 75 killed in Myanmar quake
At least 75 people were killed and 110 were injured in two earthquakes that hit Myanmar late on Thursday, ITAR-TASS reported citing local media.
The quakes with a magnitude of 6.8 occurred close to the border with Thailand and tremors were felt also in Bangkok.
Homes and a bridge were damaged in several villages along Myanmar's borders with Thailand and Laos.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the quake was located too far inland to create a destructive tsunami.
