The quake hit near the Myanmar-Thailand border, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Officials said it occurred deep underground and would not produce a tsunami on the Indian Ocean either. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.

This is the full WAPMERR estimate which was still based on the Magnitude 7.0 (which has been lowered to 6.8 afterwards).
Date: 2011/03/24 13:55:12.4
Region: Myanmar
Magnitude: M 7.0
Latitude: 20.7 N
Longitude: 99.95 E
Depth (km): 10.0
Source: NEI
Injured Exp. min/max: 1000 / 5000
Fatalities Exp. min/max: 400 / 3000
The original magnitude M(USGS) has been reduced to M(USGS)6.8, GFZ estimates M6.5 (good news).
The depth estimated vary from 10 (USGS) to 38 (GFZ). (We hope GFZ is right, which will decrease the danger fundamentally)
