local employee, who was working at the Shinhan Bank branch in Yangon, Myanmar, was shot at around 5 pm on the 31st of the local time yesterday.
After finishing work, this employee was on his way home with a commuter vehicle provided by the company.
It is said that an employee with a severe head injury was transferred to a nearby hospital for treatment.
However, it is presumed that the attack was not aimed at Korean companies since the commuter vehicle hit did not have a company logo.
Shinhan Bank decided to temporarily close the Yangon branch, and all employees to work from home, while reviewing the phased withdrawal of expatriates.
Human rights groups in Myanmar say at least 536 victims were killed in indiscriminate massacres by the military and police.
The situation is getting worse as the number of clashes between ethnic minority rebels and military police, who publicly declared support for the protesters, are also increasing.
Myanmar's democratic camp officially declared the inauguration of a national unified government in opposition to the military regime today.
It formalized solidarity with minority rebels.
The United Nations warned that the Myanmar crisis "may lead to an unprecedented civil war," and that "the massacre is right before our eyes."

A strong response from the international community is needed.]
Ahead of the formation of a national unified government, the military government yesterday proposed a truce for a month to minority rebels.
However, it has made it clear that it will continue to respond strongly to the protesters who are resisting the coup.
