BANGKOK (AP) – An earthquake was recorded off the southern coast of Myanmar on Monday with tremors felt in Thailand, but there were no immediate reports of major damage.

The 5.1-magnitude quake was recorded 152 kilometers (95 miles) south of Yangon, Myanmar’s largest city, 10 kilometers (6 miles) below the surface at 8:10 a.m., according to the Myanmar Meteorological Department.

Thailand’s Meteorological Department reported the quake measuring 6.0 at 8:40 a.m. and said tremors were felt in the capital, Bangkok, and the nearby province of Nonthaburi, 450 kilometers (280 miles) from the epicenter.

The USGS measured the earthquake at a magnitude of 5.6.

Different agencies often have different preliminary measurements of earthquakes.

Many people in tall buildings in Bangkok report feeling the tremors for 15 to 30 seconds, according to the Public Reports section of the Thai government’s earthquake monitoring department website.

There were no immediate reports of major damage or injuries.
