At least 10 people died and many others were injured in a police crackdown on anti-coup protesters in several Myanmar cities on Sunday.
According to eyewitnesses and local media, anti-coup demonstrators were met with tear gas, rubber bullets, and stun grenades as police and soldiers intensified a crackdown on anti-coup demonstrators in the Southeast Asian country.
The police and security forces used lethal weapons in major cities and towns to stop major demonstrations, killing at least 10 people protesting the Feb. 1 putsch.
News website Khit Thi Media reported that four protesters were killed in the commercial city of Yangon and three in Bago, a town about 78 kilometers (48 miles) east of Yangon, and three in Dawei, the capital of the southern coastal region of Tanintharyi.
