On Sunday night, the junta’s soldiers terrorised the residents of Yangon, firing shots in streets across the city and raiding homes to make arbitrary arrests.
The sound of gunfire was reported in Kyimyindaing, South Okkalapa, Shwepyitha and North Okkalapa townships.
In North Okkalapa, where at least nine unarmed protesters were murdered by the regime last Wednesday, an electricity blackout was imposed and security forces fired guns while patrolling the streets in military trucks. At least one civilian was wounded.
