The USGS says a 5.1 magnitude aftershock has hit 13 miles northwest of Mandalay in central Myanmar, close to the epicentre of Friday’s 7.7 monster quake that has killed 2 thousand people and injured 5 thousand.
Mandalay, Myanmar’s 2nd largest city, has suffered extensive damage and crews are shifting through the rubble of dozens of buildings, recovering bodies and looking for survivors.
17 people have died in neighbouring Thailand.
