YANGON: A strong earthquake struck Myanmar on Wednesday night and was felt in parts of eastern India and Bangladesh. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
The magnitude 6.9 quake struck at a depth of 135 kilometers, 396 kilometers north of Myanmar's capital, Naypyidaw, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Residents in Myanmar's main city of Yangon panicked after the quake struck, but authorities there said there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
An Associated Press journalist who was in a hospital in Yangon at the time of the quake said the seven-story building shook strongly twice, for at least a minute. Many people in the hospital, including patients, staff and visitors, ran out of the building and began calling their loved ones.
The quake, centered in the jungle and hills northwest of Mandalay, Myanmar's second-biggest city, was felt in the eastern Indian states of Assam and West Bengal.
The tremors were felt in Assam's Kaziranga area, where the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge are visiting during their royal tour of India.
People also reported feeling the quake in Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka, 484 kilometers from the epicenter.

Re: 6.9 magnitude Earthquake hits Burma (Myanmar)
I was right up near there last month, seems one hit Guam as well.
Second, a 4.8 magnitude Guam earthquake has hit. It started just after 3:30 am PST. The quake hit off the east coast. It was 63 miles from Yigo Mayor’s Office. It was only 6 miles below sea level.
