The 1930 Bago (Pegu) earthquake (Burmese: ၁၉၃၀ ပဲခူးတိုင်းငလျင်), also known as the Swa earthquake struck Myanmar on 5 May. It had a moment magnitude of 7.4 Mw and focal depth of 35 km (22 mi). The earthquake was the result of rupture along a strike-slip fault. Extensive damage was reported in the southern part of the country, particularly in Bago and Yangon. More than 550, and possibly up to 7,000 people were killed. A moderate tsunami was generated along the Burmese coast, causing minor damage to ships and the port. It was felt for over 570,000 km2 (220,000 sq mi) and as far as Shan State and Thailand.
