flag A 3.4-magnitude earthquake hit Myanmar on Sept. 20, 2025, near Sagaing, with no immediate damage or injuries reported.

flag A magnitude 3.4 earthquake struck Myanmar on September 20, 2025, at 1:05 PM IST, with its epicenter near 25.28°N, 95.15°E and a depth of 80 kilometers, according to the National Centre for Seismology. flag This follows a stronger magnitude 4.6 quake on September 14 in the same region. flag Myanmar’s location at the intersection of multiple tectonic plates, including the Sagaing Fault, increases seismic risk in densely populated areas like Sagaing, Mandalay, Bago, and Yangon, which together house nearly half the country’s population. flag Shallow quakes tend to cause stronger shaking and greater damage potential. flag While no immediate damage or casualties were reported from the September 20 event, past earthquakes have led to widespread destruction and ongoing public health issues, including outbreaks of tuberculosis, HIV, and water-borne diseases, especially among displaced people.
