Anti-coup protesters in Myanmar critically injured by live rounds

Rally in Kale turns violent and stun grenades deployed in Yangon

Three people have been critically injured after security forces fired live rounds at anti-coup protesters in north-western Myanmar, medics said, as a regional meeting of south-east Asian countries failed to find a breakthrough to the political crisis.

Police also fired stun grenades and rubber bullets on Tuesday to disperse protesters in the city of Yangon, according to witnesses, as demonstrations continued over the military's removal of Aung San Suu Kyi's elected government a month ago.
