Junta makes rare call for aid amid reports of deaths and destruction in both countries and hundreds taken to hospital
Deaths have been reported in both countries, including three people who were killed when a high-rise building under construction in Bangkok collapsed. Dozens more people are missing at the site.
The scale of the damage in Myanmar is yet to become clear, though social media footage emerging from central regions has shown multiple buildings collapsed or damaged. Images published by Khit Thit Media, a news agency based in Myanmar, showed piles of bricks and rubble outside a damaged mosque, also in Mandalay. At least 20 people died there, it reported, though it is not possible to verify this figure.
