Anti-coup protesters prepare to use slingshots against security forces in Yangon, Myanma. Security forces in the area fired a heavier calibre weapon than usual on Monday towards protesters crouching behind a barricade of sand bags, witnesses said. State television said security forces used "riot weapons" to disperse a crowd of "violent terrorist people" who were destroying a pavement and one man was wounded. A South Dagon resident said on Tuesday security forces had been cracking down in the area overnight, raising concern of more casualties. "This garbage strike is a strike to oppose the junta," read a poster on social media.
