Yangon – Around 10 people have been wounded by pro-military protesters in central Yangon after they were booed by onlookers.
In an attempt to counter the anti-regime protests, on Thursday a few hundred military supporters – claiming to be civilian supporters of the regime – gathered near the Yangon Railway Station. They marched to Sule Road in the city center, waving the national flag and signs with phrases like, “We stand with our defence services”.
