A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake has rocked Myanmar and Thailand, bringing down buildings and prompting Myanmar’s isolated military junta to make a rare request for international aid. Initial footage from Myanmar shows widespread damage to infrastructure. Myanmar’s junta has not given a death toll on the Burmese side of the border, but witnesses and local media said people have been killed in the city of Mandalay and the towns Toungoo and Aungban. Hundreds of casualties were taken to a hospital in the capital, Naypyidaw, where injured people were being treated outside because of damage to the building
