The death toll continues to rise after a massive 7.7 earthquake struck Myanmar's second-largest city, followed by several strong aftershocks that could be felt in neighboring Thailand and China. Over 1,000 are dead and thousands more injured after the earthquake felled buildings and pagodas. The U.S., China, Russia and the U.N. pledged aid to help with recovery in the usually tightly-controlled borders of Myanmar, which has been ruled by a military junta since 2021.
