Myanmar forces fire on protesters again as Indonesia appeals for peace

At least nine killed in latest violence against anti-coup protesters, according to local media

Security forces in Myanmar have opened fire on anti-coup demonstrators in several cities, killing at least nine people, according to local news outlets, as Indonesia issued an unusually blunt call to end the violence and restore democracy.

Two journalists including a BBC reporter were arrested in the capital, Naypyidaw, while covering a hearing for a detained opposition leader, bringing to nearly 40 the number of media workers taken into custody since the 1 February military takeover.
