Earthquake Of 4.5 Magnitude Jolts Myanmar | World News

National Seismology Center (NCS) said that an earthquake of 4.5 was shaken on Friday.

According to NCS, the earthquake occurred at a depth of 101 km.

In an article in X, NCS, “M: 4.5, on: 11/07/2025 05:56:04 ist, Lat: 25.76 n, long: 95.26 e, depth: 101 km, location: Myanmar.”

At the beginning of July 7, a 4.6 -magnitude earthquake shook the area on a Richter scale.

NCS shared the details of the earthquake on X, “M 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.”

On July 3, another earthquake of 4.1 magnitude hit Myanmar. According to NCS, the earthquake took place at a shallow depth of 10 km, which made it sensitive to aftershocks.

In an article in X, NCS, “M: 4.1, on: 03/07/2025 06:10:48 Ist, Lat: 22.01 n, long: 95.58 E, depth: 10 km, place: Myanmar.”

Shallow earthquakes are usually more dangerous than deep earthquakes. This is due to the fact that seismic waves from shallow earthquakes have a shorter distance to travel to the surface, causing more powerful floor shaking and damaging structures and larger losses.

Following the 7.7 and 6.4 earthquakes that hit the central Myanmar on March 28, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned a series of rapidly rising health threats for people who have been affected by earthquakes: Tuberculosis (TB), HIV, vector and water.

Myanmar is vulnerable to dangers caused by medium and large earthquakes, including tsunami dangers along the long coastline.

The Sagaing error increases the seismic danger for Sagaing, Mandalay, Bago and Yangon, representing 46 percent of the Myanmar population together. Although Yangon is relatively distant from the error trail, it still suffers from significant risks due to its dense population. For example, in 1903, an intensive earthquake of 7.0 in Bago hit Yangon.
