An earthquake of magnitude 3.8 struck Myanmar, as reported by the National Centre of Seismology (NCS). The quake occurred at 11:31 pm Indian Standard Time, with its epicentre located at latitude 22.258 N and longitude 96.092 E, at a depth of 10 kilometres.
The NCS shared the details on X, stating, “EQ of M: 3.8, On: 13/06/2026 23:31:57 IST, Lat: 22.258 N, Long: 96.092 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Myanmar.”
Myanmar is vulnerable to hazards from moderate and large magnitude earthquakes and tsunamis along its long coastline, due to its location between four tectonic plates.
A 1,400-kilometre transform fault runs through Myanmar and connects the Andaman spreading centre to a collision zone in the north called the Sagaing Fault.
The Sagaing Fault increases the seismic hazard for Sagaing, Mandalay, Bago, and Yangon, which together represent 46 per cent of Myanmar's population.
