SCDF Helps Save Man Trapped Under Rubble in 8-Hour Op in Naypyitaw

The operation, which took about eight hours, was conducted with members of the Naypyitaw Fire Service Department, the SCDF said in a Facebook post.

The force had deployed an 80-strong contingent and four search canines a day earlier to assist in rescue efforts in the country, which was struck by a 7.7-magnitude earthquake near Mandalay, its second-largest city.

The death toll stands at about 1,700 in Myanmar and at least 18 in neighbouring Thailand.

More than 3,400 have been injured in Myanmar, and over 300 are still missing.
