Hundreds of people are feared to have died in Myanmar after a powerful earthquake hit the country. The ruling military junta has called for international aid.

The quake's effects were also across neighbouring Thailand, with a skyscraper under construction hundreds of kilometres away in Bangkok collapsing. Rescue efforts are underway to trap dozens of workers thought to be trapped in the ruins.

The earthquake's epicenter was located 16 kilometers northwest of the city of Sagaing in Myanmar at around 12:50 p.m. local time (0620 GMT/UTC), according to the US Geological Survey.

We spoke to journalist Matt Hunt in Bangkok and journalist Myat Nyein Aye in Chiang Mai for the latest on the damage.
