Yangon, Myanmar-AP -- A strong earthquake has damaged ancient temples and a bridge in Myanmar (mee-an-MAWR') -- but there's no word on casualties. Experts in the country say the quake struck with a force of six-point-seven. It was centered more than 200 miles north of the capital, Yangon. The U-S Geological survey says the quake was magnitude six-point-five.
The shaking was felt more than 500 miles away in Bangkok, Thailand, where it caused tall buildings to sway and sent hotel guests rushing from their rooms.
