Earthquake Of Magnitude 3.6 Strikes Myanmar

Naypyidaw: An earthquake of magnitude 3.6 struck Myanmar on Thursday, a statement by the National Centre for Seismology (NCS) said. The tremor occurred at 11:04 PM IST at a depth of 90 kilometres.

In a post on X, the NCS said,"EQ of M: 3.6, On: 22/01/2026 23:04:04 IST, Lat: 20.59 N, Long: 94.86 E, Depth: 90 Km, Location: Myanmar." 

Earlier on January 14, another earthquake of magnitude 4.0 struck the region at a depth of 10km.

In a post on X, the NCS said, “EQ of M: 4.0, On: 14/01/2026 11:56:28 IST, Lat: 25.05 N, Long: 95.80 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Myanmar.” Shallow earthquakes are generally more dangerous than deep earthquakes. This is because the seismic waves from shallow earthquakes have a shorter distance to travel to the surface, resulting in stronger ground shaking and potentially more damage to structures and greater casualties.
