  • Thai authorities have started an investigation into a Chinese-backed construction firm following the collapse of a 33-storey high-rise during a 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar, resulting in 17 deaths and numerous injuries and missing workers.
  • Four Chinese nationals were arrested for unlawfully removing documents from the collapsed building, as confirmed by local law enforcement.
  • Bangkok's Governor has declared the site a disaster zone, while Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul announced a rapid investigation to determine the cause of the building's failure.
