Earthquakes caused serious damage to the infrastructure of Myanmar: bridges, roads, buildings, including the University in the Mandalaye and the Proletus bridge in the city of Sagain.

Many areas were left without electricity and communication, which complicates the conduct of rescue operations and assessment of the full scale of destruction.

Rescue operations are ongoing, but the number of victims will probably grow as the rubble and the receipt of new data from the injured areas. The authorities and rescue services make every effort to search for survivors and provide the necessary assistance to the population.
