Today, two earthquakes with magnitudes exceeding 4.0 struck Mandalay Region within a single morning, according to an announcement by the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology.  

At 3:27 AM on July 16, an earthquake occurred about 4 miles southeast of Pyigyitagon Township in Mandalay Region, with a depth of 10 kilometers, as reported by the department.  

Just hours later, at 7:52 AM, another earthquake measuring 4.2 on the Richter scale hit about 7 miles south-southeast of Wundwin Township, also at a depth of 10 kilometers.  

These earthquakes are aftershocks following the major tremor over two months ago, marking the 205th and 206th subsequent quakes.  

"It felt like being shaken awake while sleeping soundly. It was quite intense. As soon as I realized what was happening, I immediately ran outside. At this point, I don’t know when these earthquakes will ever stop," said a Mandalay resident.
