Naypyidaw, 31 March 2025 – The State Administration Council (SAC) has declared a national mourning period following the catastrophic 7.7 magnitude earthquake that struck Myanmar on 28 March at 12:51 PM Myanmar Standard Time.

The earthquake has resulted in a significant loss of life and widespread destruction, prompting the government to designate 31 March to 6 April 2025 as a period of national mourning. During this time, the national flag will be flown at half-mast across the country as a sign of respect and solidarity with the victims and affected communities.

The announcement was formally issued today with the signature of Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, Chairman of the State Administration Council and Prime Minister of Myanmar.

Militants from the People’s Defense Force (PDF) attacked a power substation in Salin Township, Magway Region, early Monday morning, as Myanmar continues to grapple with electricity shortages following last week’s devastating earthquake, according to a statement from the country’s information team.

The attack took place around 6:00 AM at the Ta Nyaung substation, located approximately 5.5 kilometers northwest of Salin town. Security forces engaged the assailants in a firefight after the militants opened fire with the arms. The attackers reportedly retreated following the clash, and no casualties were reported.

This incident comes in the wake of a 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck central Myanmar on March 28 at 12:51 PM local time, causing widespread power outages. The government has been working to restore electricity while also conducting disaster relief operations for affected communities.

The statement said that PDF groups are exploiting the post-disaster situation to carry out sabotage operations. The government claims that the militants are 'disrupting recovery efforts through various destructive means,' while civilians continue to struggle with ongoing hardships.

Authorities continue efforts to repair the damaged substation as blackouts persist across multiple townships in the region. The security situation remains tense as restoration work progresses.
