Videos have emerged showing widespread damage across both countries. One clip shows an under-construction building collapsing in Bangkok, while another captures the iconic Ava Bridge, that connects Myanmar's Ava and Sagaing regions, falling. No tsunami alert has been issued so far. A strong aftershock of 6.4 magnitude struck Myanmar's Sagaing region just 12 minutes after the initial quake.
