According to the National Center for Seismology (NCS), an earthquake of 3 magnitude occurred in Myanmar on Sunday (November 16). The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10 kilometers, due to which there is a possibility of aftershocks. Let us tell you that shallow earthquakes are more dangerous than deep earthquakes because when they come near the earth’s surface, more energy is released, due to which the ground shakes more and there is more damage to buildings and people get injured.

This situation is more serious than deep earthquakes, because their energy reduces as soon as they reach the surface. Earlier on November 14, an earthquake of 3.9 magnitude had occurred at a depth of 35 kilometers. NCS gave this information in a post on X. Myanmar is vulnerable to threats from earthquakes of medium and large intensity, including the risk of tsunamis along its long coastline.

Myanmar is located between 4 tectonic plates
Myanmar lies between four tectonic plates (Indian, Eurasian, Sunda and Burma plates), which interact in active geological processes. Following the 7.7 and 6.4 magnitude earthquakes that struck central Myanmar on March 28, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned of a series of rapidly increasing health risks for thousands of people displaced in earthquake-hit areas. Which includes TB, HIV, vector and water-borne diseases.

What is sagging fault?
A 1,400 km long transform fault runs through Myanmar and connects the Andaman spreading center to a collision zone to the north called the Sagaing Fault. The Sagaing Fault poses increased seismic risk to Sagaing, Mandalay, Bago and Yangon, which together represent 46 percent of Myanmar’s population.

According to ANI, Yangon is far from the fault trace, yet it is at high risk due to its dense population. Let us tell you that in 1903, there was a strong earthquake of 7.0 magnitude in Bago, which also affected Yangon.

Amid reports of drone strikes on militant camps in the Myanmar border adjacent to Nagaland, India’s Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Chief Lieutenant General Shanjaya Pratap Singh has reached NAPUDODO (capital of Myanmar) on an official visit. During this, the DIA Chief met the Deputy Chief of Myanmar Army and discussed peace, stability and rule of law on the border.

The special thing is that even though the ULFA and other militant organizations are constantly accusing India of drone strikes, the Indian Army has not shared the official information of any such attack. On Saturday (July 19, 2025), militant organizations in the north-eastern states have released videos of their camps and bodies of commanders destroyed in the drone strike.

Discussion on security of India and Myanmar border

According to the information, the DIA Chief met Vice Chairman of Myanmar’s National Security Council and Deputy Commander in Chief Lieutenant General Soe Win at Nayapyido. The main objective of the discussion was related to the security of the India and Myanmar border, as militant organizations like ULFA (I), NSCN (I) and PLA have set up their camps in the Myanmar border area adjacent to India in the last few years.

In such a situation, there is a possibility of deteriorating law and order in Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Mizoram. In Myanmar, the hold of Juti (Military) regime is constantly loosening. In such a situation, rebels are dominated in provinces like Arakan, San and Syang. The rule of Junta has been reduced to around the capital Naipido. In such a situation, there is a possibility of anti-India militant organizations being active in the north-east states in the near future.

India’s role in Myanmar earthquake rescue work also discussed

L. General Singh emphasized on increasing defense cooperation between the two countries and strengthening friendly relations between Myanmar’s Deputy Commanding In -Chief. Also, after the earthquake in Myanmar recently, India’s role in relief and rescue operations was also discussed.

During the meeting, the DIA Chief also discussed the multi -party democratic election in Myanmar. In the year 2021, the Army had established the Junna (Military) rule by coupling the elected government of Myanmar.

Review of operational and safety preparations

Meanwhile, Lieutenant General RC Tiwari, Commanding in Chief of Eastern Command (Kolkata) of the Indian Army, visited the headquarters of the Special Corps at Dimapur (Nagaland). The special core (3 core) is the responsibility of the areas adjacent to Myanmar. Lieutenant General Tiwari reviewed the preparations for operational and security during the tour.

The Army Commander also reviewed the new generation of military equipment developed with the aim of increasing war capacity. On July 13, the drone strike on which the militant organizations of the northeast are making allegations, were also in the area of Myanmar adjacent to Nagaland. L. General Tiwari appreciated the formation for the taste of military capacity, dedication, high morale and emerging challenges of the soldiers.
