A 7.9-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar on Friday, with its epicenter about 17 km from the country’s second-largest city, Mandalay, which suffered extensive damage. The quake destroyed the iconic Mahamuni Pagoda and cracked highways in the region.

Mandalay International Airport also sustained heavy damage, leading to the temporary suspension of operations at Naypyidaw and Mandalay airports and the cancellation of all flights.
