Myanmar military government defends rule minutes before deadly quake hits
Briefly

In a rare interview just before a devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake hit central Myanmar, General Zaw Min Tun defended the military government's actions amid growing resistance against military rule and international accusations of war crimes. The earthquake struck shortly after the interview, resulting in widespread devastation, including the loss of entire villages and thousands of lives. This incident underscores the precarious state of Myanmar, where the government is struggling to maintain control in the face of both natural disaster and social unrest.
General Zaw Min Tun's assertion of military rule comes in the context of an escalating armed resistance and increasing international condemnation surrounding Myanmar's human rights violations.
As the magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck, the reality of Myanmar's dire situation was stark; entire villages vanished, and emergency responses were crippled amidst ongoing conflict.
