STORYLINE:
Emergency crews worked to clear the scene of a collapsed building in Thailand’s capital a day after a powerful earthquake rocked neighbouring Myanmar on Friday.
Authorities in Bangkok said six people were killed, 22 were injured and 101 were missing from three construction sites, including the collapsed high-rise.
They revised the death toll Saturday morning from 10 reported the previous day, saying several critically injured people were mistakenly reported dead.
The earthquake caused extensive damage across a wide swath of one of the world’s poorest countries and prompting officials to warn that the initial death toll — above 140 — was likely to grow in the days ahead.
The full extent of death, injury and destruction was not immediately clear — particularly in Myanmar, which is embroiled in a civil war, and where information is tightly controlled.
The 7.7 magnitude quake struck at midday, with an epicenter near Mandalay, Myanmar ’s second-largest city.
Aftershocks followed, one of them measuring a strong 6.4 magnitude.
