STORYLINE:
At least two people were killed on Friday after a building collapsed in Bangkok during a strong earthquake in the region.

Thai emergency responders also said an unknown number of others were still under the rubble of the building.

Rescue worker Songwut Wangpon told reporters at least seven people had been found alive from the collapsed building, that was once a high-rise building under construction.

The multi-story structure came down after the 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck midday Friday, sending the crane on top toppling to the ground and a massive plume of dust into the air.

The U.S. Geological Survey and Germany’s GFZ center for geosciences said the earthquake was a shallow 10 kilometers (6.2 miles), with an epicenter in Myanmar, according to preliminary reports.
