Signs of life detected in quake-struck Bangkok skyscraper; death toll tops 2,000

Civil war in Myanmar, where a military junta seized power in a coup in 2021, complicates efforts to reach those injured and made homeless by the Southeast Asian nation’s biggest quake in a century.

Signs of life were detected in the ruins of a skyscraper in Bangkok on Monday as efforts intensified to find people trapped three days after a massive earthquake in Southeast Asia that killed at least 2,000.
