A 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar has resulted in the deaths of at least 12 individuals, prompting a call for urgent international aid, according to the shadow foreign minister of the war-affected nation, who spoke to Reuters on Friday.
Zin Mar Aung, the leading diplomat of the parallel National Unity Government, indicated that members of the anti-junta militias, referred to as the People’s Defence Forces, would be offering humanitarian support.

“This situation is extremely serious; we require humanitarian and technical assistance from the global community,” Zin Mar Aung stated during a phone interview, noting that communication has become a significant obstacle, particularly due to internet restrictions enforced by the junta in the severely impacted region.
