The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre announced today, Friday, August 22, that a strong earthquake measuring 5.6 on the Richter scale occurred near the border between Myanmar and India.

The center explained that the epicenter of the earthquake was only 10 kilometers deep, indicating that its impact may be clear and tangible in the surrounding areas, especially in regions close to the epicenter.

This earthquake comes amid increased seismic activity in the region, as earthquake experts warned of the possibility of aftershocks that may follow this initial quake, necessitating greater vigilance and preparedness from residents and local authorities.

At the same time, the Chilean coasts experienced a stronger earthquake measuring 7.5, but the relevant authorities confirmed that there is no risk of tsunami waves threatening coastal areas, which helped alleviate fears among the population.

These recurring earthquakes in various parts of the world serve as a constant reminder of the importance of enhancing preventive measures and emergency preparedness, especially in areas prone to seismic activity, in order to minimize potential losses of life and property.

The relevant authorities continue to monitor the developments of these earthquakes and provide necessary updates to ensure everyone's safety.
