Police and soldiers reportedly killed dozens of people, including children, across Myanmar on Saturday, as the military celebrated the 76th annual Armed Forces Day in the capital with a parade.
Independent news outlet Myanmar Now reported the death toll reached 91 across 40 towns, while an independent researcher in Yangon said 93 people died, according to The Associated Press. That would make Saturday the deadliest day since the coup. A previous high for estimated deaths in a single day stood between 74 and 90 on March 14, the AP reported. Myanmar Now also reported dozens of injuries, including a 1-year-old baby in Thamin, Yangon, who was reportedly shot in the eye with a rubber bullet. The baby was playing near the armed forces when they were shot, according to Myanmar Now. Another local outlet, The Irrawaddy, said the death toll, which it reported was at least 59, included four children, ages 5, 10, 13 and 15. CBS News has not independently confirmed how many people were killed.More Related News
