A strong earthquake with a 7.2 magnitude, struck eastern Burma (20.8 Degrees North and 99.8 Degrees East) at 21:55 on March 24 (Beijing Time), according to the China Earthquake Network Center. Tremors were also felt in many parts of Yunnan Province.

Because the epicenter was very close to the borders between Burma and China, people in some areas of Yunnan, like Xishuangbanna, Pu’er, lincan and Honghe, felt strong tremors. But people in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan, only sensed a little quake.
