Sen(U.K.)’s 4K video camera from ISS captured southern Myanmar. on On March 28, 2025, M7.7 earthquake struck the central part of the country which has claimed over 3,000 lives. Our hearts are with all who are affected by this tragedy.
Myanmar is the largest country by area in Mainland Southeast Asia and has a population of about 55 million. The country’s capital city is Naypyidaw, and its largest city is Yangon (formerly Rangoon). Early civilisations in the area included the Tibeto-Burman-speaking Pyu city-states in Upper Myanmar and the Mon kingdoms in Lower Myanmar. After a brief Japanese occupation, Myanmar was reconquered by the Allies. On 4 January 1948, Myanmar declared independence under the terms of the Burma Independence Act 1947. Myanmar’s post-independence history has been checkered by continuing unrest and conflict to this day.
