Security forces on Sunday intensified their crackdown on protests in Myanmar during the bloodiest day of demonstrations since the Feb. 1 military coup, killing at least 18 and using lethal force against protesters in the main city of Yangon for the first time.
The clashes — with tear gas, stun grenades, rubber bullets and live rounds — turned Yangon and cities across the country into battlegrounds as the military moved to crush resistance to its deeply resented seizure of power.
