Protesters in Myanmar fight back amid violent crackdown

Protesters in Myanmar fired slingshots and threw Molotov cocktails toward lines of security forces after apparently coming under fire in a rare incidence of anti-coup demonstrators fighting back against a relentlessly violent crackdown.
The growing resistance comes after one organisation said that more than 200 people have been killed since the February 1 takeover. At least two people were shot dead during protests on Wednesday in Kalay in northwestern Myanmar, according to press and social media posts that included photos of the victims.More Related News
