Gunshots Heard During Deadly Protest in Yangon

At least six people were killed in North Okkalapa Township, Yangon, Myanmar, and at least 18 were in critical condition after security forces fired "live rounds” at protesters on Wednesday, March 3, Frontier Myanmar reported.

At minimum 34 people were killed in protests across the country on Wednesday, the largest single-day death toll since the coup began, reports said
