Storyline: Myanmar observed a solemn day of national mourning on Tuesday to honor the victims of a devastating and massive earthquake that struck the country last Friday with significant loss of life and property. The nation fell silent at 12:51:02 local time, the exact time the earthquake occurred, as part of nationwide mourning activities. The State Administration Council announced a seven-day national mourning period, taking effect from March 31 to April 6, in response to the loss of life and property resulting from the disaster. April 1, or Tuesday, was designated as the official national day of mourning, while flags were flown at half-mast, and sirens sounded to mark the solemn occasion across the country. In addition to the public observances, media outlets across Myanmar suspended their regular programming on Tuesday during the mourning activities. The death toll from the 7.9-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar has risen to 2,719, with more than 4,500 people injured and over 440 missing, according to the Myanmar Radio and Television on Tuesday.
