Myanmar: On Sunday afternoon, Cyclone Mocha made landfall in Bangladesh and Myanmar. The deadly cyclone has killed 3 people and injured several others in the two Asian-pacific countries in less than 24 hours.. Although hundreds of improvised shelters were demolished in Cox's Bazar, there have been no confirmed casualties in Bangladesh.

As the cyclone in Rakhine state near Sittwe township inundated streets, tore off roofs, and disrupted communications, Myanmar appeared to have been more directly affected.

In Myanmar, there were at least three recorded fatalities.  A rescue team wrote on Facebook that they had recovered the bodies of a couple who were buried when a landslide hit their house in Tachileik township.  A man was reportedly killed at Pyin Oo Lwin township in the central Mandalay region when a banyan tree fell on him and crushed him to death.

According to Myanmar's military information office, the storm in Sittwe, Kyaukpyu, and Gwa townships damaged homes, electrical transformers, cell phone towers, boats, and lampposts. It said that on the Coco Islands, buildings' roofs had been torn off.
In Myanmar, Cyclone Mocha impairs communication and floods streets.

Cell phone towers were damaged by Cyclone Mocha's high winds, which interfered with connectivity in Myanmar. In addition, streets were submerged in deep water, and trees and roof boards were being ripped off by the wind.
