On Saturday, two protestors were shot in what many see as the huge escalation of the crackdown on peaceful protests across the nation. According to local media, police and troops fired live rounds into a crowd of protesting dockyard employees in the country's second region, killing two and injuring several others. Notably, the violence constituted the deadliest single day since General Min Aung Hlaing, the military commander-in-chief, overthrew the democratically elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi and seized power in a coup on February 1.
