The quake came as Myanmar is engaged in relief efforts following a massive 7.7 magnitude temblor that also hit the country’s central region on March 28. The epicenter of the latest quake was roughly hallway between Mandalay, Myanmar’s second-biggest city, which suffered enormous damage and casualties in last month’s earthquake, and Naypyitaw, the capital, where several government offices were then damaged.

There were no immediate reports of major damage or casualties caused by the new quake, one of the strongest of hundreds of aftershocks from the March 28 temblor. As of Friday, the death toll from that quake was 3,649, with 5,018 injured, according to Maj. Gen. Zaw Min Tun, a spokesperson for Myanmar’s military government.
