4 Earthquakes Rock Asia in 1 Hour | India, Myanmar & Tajikistan Hit Back-to-Back | Aftershocks

A series of four earthquakes struck India, Myanmar, and Tajikistan within just one hour on Sunday morning, alarming millions across central and South Asia. The strongest tremor, at magnitude 6.1, hit Tajikistan, while Myanmar experienced a powerful 5.5 aftershock amidst its ongoing quake crisis. India’s Himachal Pradesh saw a 3.4 magnitude quake early in the day.

“Pakistan Has Lived Enough”: Did CM Yogi’s Final Warning Come a Little After the Ceasefire?

On May 23, 2025, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath issued a fiery warning to Pakistan during a speech in Ayodhya, following the success of Op Sindoor. He invoked Lord Hanuman while stating that India never initiates conflict, but always retaliates with strength. Citing the killing of over 124 terrorists in a decisive Indian military response, Yogi said Pakistan is paying for nurturing terrorism. “Pakistan’s days are numbered,” he declared, holding Islamabad responsible for cross-border terror and vowing continued retaliation. #YogiAdityanath #OpSindoor #IndiaStrikesBack #PakistanTerrorism #NewIndia #Ayodhya #IndianArmy #CMYogi #TerrorAlert #PakistanWarning #ModiGovernment #IndiaPakistan #NationalSecurity #LordHanuman #Retaliation #IndianForces #SouthAsia #BreakingNews #IndiaToday #YogiSpeech #IndoPakRelations #TerrorFreeIndia #PakTerror #IndiaFirst #CrossBorderTerror #UPNews #DeshBhakti #MilitaryStrike #YogiOnTerror #Geopolitics #PakistanCrisis Also Read India Set To Mount Pressure On FATF To Add Pakistan To Grey List :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-set-to-mount-pressure-on-fatf-to-add-pakistan-to-grey-list-4161695.html?ref=DMDesc Give Him Title Of King: Imran Khan Mocks Pakistan Army Chief Munir Over Field Marshal Promotion :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/give-him-title-of-king-imran-khan-mocks-pakistan-army-chief-asim-munir-after-getting-promoted-as-fi-4161515.html?ref=DMDesc IndiGo Flight’s Plea for Pakistani Airspace Denied During Mid-Air Turbulence :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/indigo-flight-s-plea-for-pakistani-airspace-denied-during-mid-air-turbulence-4161417.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~
