Myanmar's junta leader attended a regional summit in Bangkok on Friday, a week after a massive earthquake devastated parts of the impoverished war-torn country, killing more than 3,100, and spurring an appeal for help by the United Nations chief.

A powerful earthquake rocked Myanmar on Friday, causing extensive damage across a wide swath of one of the world’s poorest countries and prompting officials to warn that the initial death toll — above 140 — was likely to grow in the days ahead.

The magnitude 7.7 quake Friday rocked an impoverished Southeast Asian nation already beleaguered by years of civil war.

Although the official number of dead stands at around 2,000, the military junta has a history of suppressing the scale of national disasters. Here in Thailand's capital Bangkok, meanwhile, dozens of construction workers remain buried under the rubble of a collapsed unfinished skyscraper.
