A DEVASTATING 7.7 magnitude earthquake has struck Myanmar with severe damage expected to homes.
The terrifying tremors were also felt in Thailand, India and China.
The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) said the quake had a depth of 10km with the epicentre near the city of Mandalay.
Locals in Bangkok were left running out onto the streets in panic as the tremors first hit.
There is still word from officials on if they expect any casualties.
It comes just two months after over 125 people died after a devastating earthquake ripped through one of Tibet’s holiest cities.
The 7.1 magnitude quake destroyed “many buildings” in Shigatse injuring 130 and wreaking havoc in parts of Nepal and India.
The quake has also left dozens missing with rescue teams desperately looking for survivors, the China Earthquake Networks Centre (CENC) has warned.
At least 188 people were injured in Tibet on the Chinese side of the border, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
Videos posted by China’s Ministry of Emergency Management showed two people being carried on stretchers by workers treading over the debris from collapsed homes.
They were seen climbing mounds of broken bricks, with some using ladders in heavily damaged villages.
The earthquake also rocked Mount Everest – the world’s tallest peak at 29,000ft – but everyone on the mountain is understood to be safe.
