The death toll from the devastating earthquake in Myanmar has climbed to 3,085, with 4,715 people injured, according to local authorities cited by China’s Xinhua news agency.
Six days after the 7.7-magnitude quake struck, 341 individuals remain missing, and rescue efforts are becoming increasingly desperate.
Myanmar’s ruling military council stated
that the likelihood of finding more survivors under the rubble is diminishing.
Aid organizations have warned that the actual number of missing individuals could be significantly higher than reported.
In neighboring Thailand, the death toll from the Bangkok earthquake has risen to 29 after rescue teams discovered additional bodies in the wreckage of a partially built 30-story building.
Authorities confirmed that as of Thursday morning, nine people were injured, and 59 remain missing.
Officials believe there may still be survivors trapped beneath the debris, as rescue workers have reported hearing voices.
The powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar on March 28, sending tremors across five neighboring countries, including Thailand.
The Russian embassy in Myanmar confirmed that no Russian citizens have been reported among the casualties.
