Here is what we know:
The 7.7-magnitude quake hit northwest of Myanmar's Sagaing at 12:50 pm (0650 GMT) on Friday at a shallow depth of 10 kilometres (six miles).
The quake was felt across the region, with shaking reported from India to the west and China to the east, as well as Cambodia and Laos.
It “has long been considered one of the most dangerous strike-slip faults on Earth” because of its proximity to major cities Yangon and Mandalay, as well as capital Naypyidaw, they wrote in an analysis.
Over 150 killed
However, Min Aung Hlaing warned the toll was likely to rise given the widespread destruction across the country.
In Thailand, 10 people were killed in Bangkok, most in the collapse of an under-construction skyscraper.
Rescue operations continued throughout the night, though it was proving complicated to pick through the unstable rubble.
The quake caused extensive damage in Myanmar.
The Ava bridge running across the Irawaddy river from Sagaing, built nearly 100 years ago, collapsed into the swirling waters below.
In Naypyidaw, AFP reporters saw buildings toppled and roads ruptured.
Electricity outages were reported in several places, with power limited to four hours in Yangon due to quake damage.
In Bangkok, a crane collapsed at a second building site and the city shut down metro and light rail services overnight to inspect for damage.
The quake prompted thousands of people to flee shaking buildings in Thailand, where quakes are rare.
Aid pleas, offers
Myanmar’s junta chief invited “any country, any organisation” to help with relief and said he he “opened all ways for foreign aid”.
The European Union offered support, and US President Donald Trump said Washington had “already spoken” with Myanmar about aid.
The World Health Organization said it was preparing to surge support in response to “a very, very big threat to life and health.”
