In Myanmar, nine protesters protesting the coup were also known to have been killed by indiscriminate shooting by the army and police. The situation is getting worse again amid ASEAN’s efforts to resolve the Myanmar crisis. I will connect with the International Department for more news. Reporter Kim Hyung-geun! It’s only been three days since 18 protesters were killed by army and police fire last Sunday. Another massive bloodshed, right? “Four people were shot dead in the center of Sagaing City,” the AFP news agency quoted local medical personnel as saying. In addition, local media Myanmar Now reported that a man and two people, a man and a man, were killed in a shooting by military police in Mandalay, Myanmar’s second largest city. Myanmar Now added that a woman in her 30s was shot in the chest and a teenage man was shot in the head. The Reuters news agency also cited eyewitnesses who reported that a military policeman shot in Yangon, Myanmar’s largest city, killing one and wounding several more. In addition, it was reported that one death occurred in Mingzan and several more were injured. Local media say that taking the situation together so far, at least nine people are estimated to have died in today’s protests. On the 28th of last month, another massive bloodshed occurred three days after the so-called ‘Blood Sunday’, where at least 18 people were killed by police firing indiscriminately across Myanmar. As the meeting between military representatives of ASEAN and Myanmar in yesterday’s video ended unsuccessfully, the crackdown on violence by the military and police is intensifying. At yesterday’s meeting, ASEAN made a statement in its president’s statement, saying: “I urge all parties to refrain from promoting further violence and to resolve the situation peacefully through dialogue.” Meanwhile, state adviser Aung San Suu Kyi, who was taken over by the military coup, is taking action against the military regime by appointing a cabinet member after a special envoy. So far, the International Department has complied.
