More than 150 people have been confirmed dead in Thailand after a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake—the strongest to strike the country in two centuries—sent buildings crashing to the ground and triggered widespread panic across Southeast Asia.
At least ten people were killed in Bangkok alone, where a high-rise building under construction collapsed during the tremors, burying workers beneath tonnes of concrete and steel. According to Daily Mail, around 101 people remain missing from three major construction sites, with emergency teams working around the clock in a desperate bid to locate survivors.
