Feb. 28 (UPI) -- Myanmar's military opened fire on protesters demonstrating against a Feb. 1 coup on Sunday, killing at least 18 people and injuring more than 30, the United Nations said.
The military, also known as the Tatmadaw, used live rounds along with "less-than-lethal force" including tear gas and flash-bang and stun grenades against crowds in Myanmar's largest city, Yangon, as well as Dawei, Mandalay, Myiek, Bago and Pokokku, the U.N. Human Rights Office, or OHCHR, said in a statement.
