More than 150 people have been killed and more than 730 injured after a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar near the city of Mandalay.

The country’s military government has warned that casualties are likely to rise.

The quake triggered the collapse of buildings hundreds of miles away in Thailand.

At least nine people have died in the nation’s capital, and authorities are racing to free 110 people believed to be trapped under the rubble of an under-construction high-rise.
