💨 Abstract

On April 18, a 3.9 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar at a shallow depth, making it susceptible to aftershocks. Earlier on April 17, a 4.0 magnitude earthquake occurred in the same region. Shallow earthquakes in Myanmar pose a high risk due to their greater energy release near the Earth's surface, causing stronger ground shaking and potential damage.
