Mandalay: Myanmar's Department of Meteorology and Hydrology reported on Monday that 36 aftershocks, with magnitudes ranging from 2.8 to 7.5, have occurred as of Monday morning.

The aftershocks followed a devastating 7.9-magnitude earthquake that jolted Myanmar at 12:51 p.m. local time last Friday.

The quake damaged underground oil pipelines, local authorities said earlier in the day, adding that power lines had also been cut and oil tankers were arriving on the country's shores to ease fuel shortages.

A number of countries, including Russia and Belarus, have been assisting Myanmar with relief efforts, including by sending rescue teams. (Inputs from UNI)
