An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 struck Myanmar on Sunday. Twelve people are suspected to be dead after all the damage done by the earthquake. Damage included a collapsed bridge and gold mine, and several buddhist pagodas. Some of the people that died in the earthquake were rumored to be mine workers from the collapsed gold mine. A 5.8 aftershock occurred on Sunday, but no casualties were reported from it. Residents are afraid of additional earthquakes and are superstitious that the natural disaster occured on the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
