- On Monday, rescue efforts intensified at the site of a collapsed 30-story skyscraper in Bangkok after signs of life were detected, three days after a magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck Southeast Asia.
- The massive earthquake, which occurred on Friday near Mandalay, Myanmar, caused tremors in Thailand and led to the building's collapse, with initial tests suggesting substandard steel was used in the construction.
- Scanning machines and sniffer dogs were deployed as rescuers urgently worked to access the area where signs of life were detected, while in Myanmar, rescuers freed four people, including a pregnant woman and a girl, from collapsed buildings.
- The death toll in Myanmar is reported to be over 2,000, with state media reporting 2,065 deaths and over 3,900 injuries, while in Bangkok, at least 18 people have died and 78 remain missing, prompting Deputy Governor Tavida Kamolvej to state, "Every second really counts."
- The building collapse in Bangkok, intended to be a new State Audit Office, has sparked an investigation into safety and quality standards, while the ongoing civil war in Myanmar complicates rescue efforts, prompting the United Nations and the United States to offer aid amidst concerns of obstruction by the military junta, with the opposition National Unity Government putting the death toll at 2,418 as of Monday.
