Protest as quake-hit Myanmar junta chief joins Bangkok summit

Min Aung Hlaing, Myanmar's junta chief, attended a BIMSTEC summit in Bangkok on Friday after a devastating earthquake.
Myanmar has been engaged in a brutal civil war since the military coup in February 2021, exacerbating the disaster response.
The 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Sagaing on March 28, 2025, causing widespread destruction and killing over 3,000 people.
A junta spokesperson confirmed 3,085 deaths; AFP reported locals saying, "There's not enough medical supplies."
Min Aung Hlaing's attendance drew criticism as it breaks regional policy, though Thailand cited its "responsibility" as host.
