In a significant development, an ethnic armed group in Myanmar's Rakhine state, the Arakan Army (AA), has declared control over Paletwa, a crucial port town on the Kaladan River bordering India and Bangladesh.
This marks another setback for the military government, which is already grappling with multiple insurgencies across the country.
The ongoing conflict involves anti-junta groups, supported by a pro-democracy parallel government, seizing control of military installations and towns, posing a substantial challenge to the junta since its coup in 2021.
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. Though no major casualties were reported, the tremors sent residents fleeing and reignited fears about seismic vulnerabilities across the region, especially in areas already coping with infrastructure damage and humanitarian distress.

A 5.5-magnitude earthquake hit central Myanmar near Meiktila on Sunday, marking one of the strongest aftershocks since the deadly March 28 temblor that killed over 3,600. The quake struck as the country entered its Thingyan holiday, compounding a humanitarian crisis worsened by the earlier 7.7 quake and ongoing civil war. No casualties have been reported so far, but minor damage and panic were reported in Wundwin township. Relief efforts continue amid growing fears of food shortages, health risks, and political suppression of information in quake-hit zones.

A 5.0-magnitude earthquake hit Nepal on Friday, rattling the region just days after Myanmar’s deadly tremor. The earthquake, confirmed by the National Center for Seismology, caused tremors that were felt across Delhi-NCR, sparking panic among residents. Though no major damages were reported, the back-to-back seismic activity has raised concerns about increased tectonic stress in the region. With Myanmar and Thailand still reeling from devastation, Friday’s quake adds to a series of tremors shaking South Asia this week. Emergency teams are on alert as aftershocks remain a possibility.
