Soldiers walk towards anti-coup protesters during a demonstration in Yangon, Myanmar on Tuesday March 30, 2021. It said the attacks were the latest in a series of actions by Myanmar’s military breaking a ceasefire agreement. Thai prime minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, speaking before the latest air attacks, said his country was ready to shelter anyone who was escaping fighting, as it has done many times for decades. His comments came a day after humanitarian groups said Thailand had been sending back some of the thousands of people who had fled the air attacks by Myanmar’s military. The attacks are a further escalation of the violent crackdown by Myanmar’s junta on protests against its February 1 coup.
