Naypyidaw [Myanmar], December 11 (ANI): An earthquake measuring 3.8 struck Myanmar on Thursday, the National Center for Seismology (NCS) reported.
The quake occurred at a depth of 38 km. In a post on X, the NCS gave the details: “EQ of M: 3.8, On: 11/12/2025 02:38:25 IST, Lat: 23.56 N, Long: 93.64 E, Depth: 38 Km, Location: Myanmar.”

Earlier, on Wednesday, a magnitude-4.6 earthquake struck the region at a depth of 138 km. The NCS post read: “EQ of M: 4.6, On: 10/12/2025 15:05:38 IST, Lat: 24.44 N, Long: 95.95 E, Depth: 138 Km, Location: Myanmar.”

Myanmar faces significant seismic and tsunami hazards along its long coastline. The country lies between four tectonic plates — the Indian, Eurasian, Sunda, and Burma plates — whose interactions drive active geological processes.
Following the magnitude 7.7 and 6.4 earthquakes that struck central Myanmar on March 28, the World Health Organization warned of growing health risks for tens of thousands of displaced people in affected areas, including tuberculosis (TB), HIV, and vector- and water-borne diseases.
A roughly 1,400-kilometre transform fault traverses Myanmar, linking the Andaman spreading centre to a collision zone in the north known as the Sagaing Fault. The Sagaing Fault raises seismic risk for the regions of Sagaing, Mandalay, Bago, and Yangon, which together account for about 46 percent of Myanmar’s population. Although Yangon is somewhat distant from the fault trace, its dense population heightens its vulnerability; for example, a magnitude-7.0 quake in Bago in 1903 also severely affected Yangon. (ANI)
