Myanmar protesters take to streets after bloodiest weekend

14 Sept 05:12 Key points summarised by AI

Myanmar endured its deadliest weekend since the military coup, with over 107 people, including children, killed on Saturday during the junta's Armed Forces Day, bringing the total death toll to over 459.
Despite the brutal crackdown, protesters continue to defy the regime, taking to the streets in towns and cities across the country to demand a restoration of democracy and the release of Aung San Suu Kyi.
International leaders, including US President Joe Biden and UN rights envoys, have strongly condemned the junta's actions as "terrible," "shameful, cowardly, brutal," and "outrageous."
The violence has escalated with the military launching its first airstrikes in Karen state in 20 years, forcing an estimated 3,000 people to flee across the border into Thailand, while also clamping down on local media and detaining journalists.
