Myanmar declared seven days of national mourning following a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck central Myanmar on Friday.
The national flag will be flown at half-staff during the mourning period, according to state-run MRTV.
The earthquake has resulted in over 1,700 deaths, more than 3,400 injuries, and over 300 people missing. In response, Gen.
