Myanmar endured its deadliest day since the February 1 coup, as security forces killed at least 107 anti-coup protesters, including children, during the annual Armed Forces Day.
Defence chiefs from 12 countries, including the United States and Britain, jointly condemned the Myanmar military's use of lethal force against civilians, urging an immediate end to the violence.
Despite the brutal crackdowns, protests continued across several cities, while the military also launched its first air strikes in 20 years in Karen state, causing thousands to flee across the border into Thailand.
Junta leader General Min Aung Hlaing defended the coup and threatened further action against 'terrorism,' even as his regime hosted lavish celebrations amidst the escalating bloodshed.
