A powerful earthquake which struck Myanmar on Friday afternoon resulted in 10 deaths, 16 injuries and 101 missing at three construction sites in Bangkok, including the collapse of a 30-storey government building, according to Bangkok Deputy Governor Tavida Kamolvej.

The death toll in the capital included eight victims from the high-rise building collapse in Chatuchak district, along with one worker who died when a crane at another construction site fell, and one worker who perished due to a ceiling collapse at a site in Bang Chan.

The 7.7-magnitude quake, occurring at a depth of 10 kilometres at 1.20pm in Mandalay, Myanmar, was felt across Thailand, China and Vietnam.
