On Friday, Myanmar was struck by a 4.5 magnitude earthquake, according to the National Center for Seismology (NCS). The earthquake’s depth was recorded at 101km. The NCS reported the event on X, providing details: ‘EQ of M: 4.5, On: 11/07/2025 05:56:04 IST, Lat: 25.76 N, Long: 95.26 E, Depth: 101 Km, Location: Myanmar.’ This recent event follows a 4.6 magnitude earthquake that occurred on July 7. The NCS shared details of the earlier quake on X: ‘EQ of M: 4.6, On: 07/07/2025 10:40:20 IST, Lat: 24.78 N, Long: 94.85 E, Depth: 85 Km, Location: Myanmar.’ Additionally, a 4.1 magnitude earthquake was recorded on July 3, at a shallow depth of 10km, which increases the risk of aftershocks. The NCS reported this event on X as: ‘EQ of M: 4.1, On: 03/07/2025 06:10:48 IST, Lat: 22.01 N, Long: 95.58 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Myanmar.’ Shallow earthquakes generally pose a greater risk due to stronger ground shaking and potential structural damage. The World Health Organization (WHO) had previously warned of increased health threats, including tuberculosis, HIV, and waterborne diseases, in the aftermath of the March 28 earthquakes that struck central Myanmar. Myanmar is susceptible to earthquakes, including tsunami risks along its coastline.
