YANGON
Myanmar’s ruling junta has declared
martial law in six townships in Yangon, the country’s largest city on Monday, a day after least 38 people were killed in the bloodiest crackdown yet on resistance to last month’s
military coup.
State broadcaster MRTV said Monday that the Yangon townships of North Dagon, South Dagon, Dagon Seikkan and North Okkalapa have been put under martial law. An initial announcement was made late Sunday saying two other townships — Hlaing Thar Yar and neighbouring Shwepyitha — were being placed under martial law.
