Myanmar, at least 18 people died yesterday (28th) local time as the military used indiscriminate force against citizens against the coup.
This figure is the number of deaths officially released by the United Nations Office for Human Rights and Human Rights, and the number of casualties may increase as witnesses continue to occur through social media.

Yangon, the largest city in Myanmar.
A man is bleeding and lying on the floor.
Several citizens left the scene carrying a fallen man, but this man eventually died.
The military and police ruthlessly quelled the protesters as anti-coup protesters held a massive second general strike across Myanmar yesterday, Sunday.
They fired tear gas and water cannons to forcibly disperse the protesters, and did not hesitate to fire warning fires at the medical staff who were marching in white robes.
The UN Human Rights Office said at least 18 of the protesters were killed and more than 30 were injured as a result of the military and police use of Myanmar, but casualties are likely to increase.
On social media, testimony continues that protesters were killed or injured due to the violent suppression of the military and police.
Myanmar's military ministry dismissed Myanmar's Ambassador to the United Nations, who sang a three-finger salute symbolizing resistance to the coup while appealing for intervention from the international community at the United Nations General Assembly on the 26th of last month for'betraying his homeland'.
Ambassador Cho Mo Thun, who has emerged as the'hero' of the citizens of Myanmar, said he would fight back as much as he could.
In a statement from a spokesman, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also stated that it will strongly demand the end of the use of violence against protesters and will take further action with the international community.
