Myanmar forces use violence against protesters, at least nine killed
Myanmar security forces shot and killed nine people during protests against the military coup, witnesses and media reported, a day after a regional diplomatic push to end the month-long crisis made little headway.
Key points:
- The violence came a day after ASEAN leaders failed to unite and pressure the Myanmar military
- Video posted on social media showed long lines of young men, hands on heads, filing into army trucks
- The military has justified the coup saying complaints of voter fraud were ignored
Two people were killed during clashes at a protest in the country’s second-biggest city Mandalay, a witness and media reports said, and one person was killed when police opened fire in the main city of Yangon, a witness there said.
