March 28 quake: the strongest tremor felt in Thailand in 95 years

The March 28 earthquake, measuring 7.4-7.7 on the Richter scale, was Thailand's strongest tremor in 95 years, surpassing any since a deadly 1930 event.
Originating from Myanmar's Sagaing fault, approximately 1,100km from Bangkok, the quake's strong vibrations were extensively felt across Thailand's northern, north-eastern, eastern, and central regions, including the capital.
A significant 6.4 magnitude aftershock occurred just 12 minutes after the initial tremor, prompting a public alert for continued vigilance against further seismic activity.

Supermarket freezers in several European countries hit by apparent cyberattacks

Supermarkets across Sweden, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, and Estonia reported widespread freezer and fridge malfunctions due to apparent cyberattacks.
The attacks caused refrigeration systems to overheat, with temperatures soaring to 50 degrees Celsius (122 F), forcing stores to discard spoiled food and limit fresh/frozen product availability.
Major chains like ICA Group, Coop, Delhaize, Carrefour, and SuperValu confirmed impacts, with some incidents quickly resolved, while others experienced temporary disruptions.
These incidents follow a similar pattern to a cyberattack last month in France that targeted older refrigeration systems in hundreds of stores, suggesting a coordinated effort.
