Myanmar and Thailand celebrate their New Year following aftershocks in central Myanmar

Central Myanmar has been struck by one of its strongest aftershocks following a devastating 7.7 magnitude quake which killed thousands of people two weeks ago.

It came as Myanmar and neighbouring Thailand held celebrations to mark their New Year with an annual water fight, seen as a way to cleanse the misfortunes of the past 12 months.
