Myanmar military supporters attack anti-coup protesters

At least two people stabbed after pro-junta demonstrators march through central Yangon

Supporters of Myanmar's military armed with iron rods, catapults and knives have attacked anti-coup protesters in Yangon, after weeks of rallies calling for the return of democracy in the country.

At least two people were stabbed in the attacks, which occurred after hundreds of pro-military demonstrators marched through central Yangon towards the main railway station. Pro-democracy supporters met them with crossed wrists and banged pots and pans.
