Strong earthquake shakes Thailand, Myanmar


BANGKOK (AP) — A strong earthquake has shaken wide areas of northern Thailand and Myanmar. There were no immediate reports of injuries or serious damage.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake measured a preliminary magnitude of 6.0 and was centered six miles south of Mae Lao, Thailand, and 17 miles southwest of Chiang Rai. It said it was located at a relatively shallow depth of 4.6 miles.

The earthquake was felt in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, where it caused curtains to sway, and in Myanmar's largest city, Yangon.
