A 6.8-magnitude earthquake has struck the north-central region of Myanmar, damaging ancient brick pagodas in the famed city of Bagan.
At least one person was killed in the quake, which hit 25km (15.5miles) west of Chauk at a depth of 84km (52 miles), according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
While these deep earthquakes generally cause less surface damage, at least 66 centuries-old stupas in Bagan were damaged, said a spokesman from the ministry of religious and cultural affairs.
The Sulamani Temple can be seen falling in a cloud of dust in this video posted by Htay Htay on Facebook:
Photos and videos shared on Twitter show the Myauk Guni Buddhist temple in Bagan, which also reportedly crumbled as the earthquake struck:
