"A magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck central Italy early on Wednesday, with reports of damaged buildings and blackouts near the epicentre Rieti and residents fleeing their homes and running into the streets. At least two people have been reported dead but that has not yet been confirmed. The shallow quake, estimated to have struck after 3:30am at a depth of 4km, was felt across a broad section of central Italy, including the capital Rome where people in homes in the historic centre felt a long swaying followed by aftershocks." - The Telegraph

"A 6.8 magnitude earthquake has hit central Myanmar, damaging pagodas in the ancient city of Bagan and killing at least one person. The quake struck 25km (15.5 miles) west of Chauk, at a depth of 84km, the US Geological Survey said. Tremors were felt as far away as Thailand, Bangladesh and India, sending fearful residents into the streets. At least 66 stupas in Bagan have been damaged, a spokesman from the department of archaeology told the BBC. A 22-year-old man was killed in the town of Pakokku due to a building collapse. Videos posted on social media from Bagan show clouds of dust and the tops of some pagodas crumbling as the quake struck. The ancient capital is a major tourist site, home to thousands of Buddhist monuments." - BBC News
