MYANMAR: A magnitude 4.2 earthquake was recorded about 87 km north of Tatkon in Myanmar’s Sagaing Region, part of an area prone to frequent seismic activity. The moderate tremor was felt locally but did not immediately report widespread damage or casualties. Myanmar lies along active fault lines, including the Sagaing Fault, which has produced both small and large quakes historically and was responsible for a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake in 2025 that caused extensive destruction in the region. The recent event is among several moderate quakes in the country this year, reflecting ongoing tectonic activity. Local authorities continue monitoring seismic risks as communities remain alert for aftershocks.
- Pray for protection and peace for families in earthquake-prone regions, that their homes remain safe and communities are strengthened (The Holy Bible, Psalm 46:1–2).
- Pray that leaders and institutions responsible for disaster preparedness act with diligence and care to safeguard lives (The Holy Bible, Isaiah 32:8).
