At least five demonstrators killed in Myanmar's city of Yangon after security forces rammed car into anti-coup protesters demanding a return to civilian rule
Five people have reportedly been killed and at least 15 arrested after Myanmar security forces in a car rammed into an anti-coup protest in Yangon.Photos and videos on social media show a vehicle that crashed through the protesters and bodies lying on the road.
"I got hit and fell down in front of a truck. A soldier beat me with his rifle but I defended and pushed him back. Then he immediately shot at me as I ran away in a zig-zag pattern. Fortunately, I escaped," a protester who asked not to be identified for security reasons told Reuters by phone. Anti-military protests are continuing despite the killing of more than 1,300 people since the February 1 coup.
