A strong earthquake has rocked central Burma, with at least 12 people feared dead and dozens more injured.

The 6.8-magnitude quake struck some 120km (70 miles) north of the second-largest city of Mandalay, at a depth of 10km, the US Geological Survey said.

A bridge under construction collapsed in Shwebo, close to the epicentre, throwing workers into the river.

In the early hours of Monday a second quake, of 5.6 magnitude, struck the same region, the USGS said.

There was no immediate information on whether the latest quake caused further deaths or major damage.

This is tragic news. First hurricane sandy and now the Burma earthquake. There's a lot of things happening around the world. This is really upsetting to hear. I really hope more aren't found dead or seriously injured.
