It is the first time that a person injured due to firing of live ammunition came out after the coup on the 1st. Concerns over massive bloodshed are rising.
According to The Times, a doctor in Myanmar’s capital Naepido said that the life of a 19-year-old woman who was hit by a live ammunition is critical. “A woman has been carried with a head injury. It seems that there was a bullet in the head, and the X-ray examination showed it was a live bullet.” The doctor added, “A man who was shot in the chest was also carried.” However, it has not been confirmed whether this man was hit by a live or rubber bullet.
Local media’Myan Manau’ also reported that a 19-year-old woman and a 30-year-old man were in critical condition after being hit by a live bullet. It is known that the exact condition has not been confirmed as the hospital currently does not allow the injured family to visit. The Associated Press reported that “there is a wide range of unconfirmed rumors that the death was caused by live ammunition.”

police forcefully disbanded the protesters by shooting water cannons, tear gas, and rubber bullets in Naepido, Yangon, the largest city, and Mandalay, the second largest city. In the process, the
police fired a warning fire in the air and fired rubber bullets at the protesters. Mandalay
police arrested protesters as well as journalists covering the scene. The authorities also closed three bridges connecting Yangon and surrounding cities on the same day. Myanmar’s military government bloodshed down citizens during large-scale democratization protests in 1962 and 1988. On this day, New Zealand declared severance of relations with the Myanmar military, which took power through a coup, and banned dignitaries from entering the country. After the coup, countries condemned the military and urged state advisor Aung San Suu Kyi to lift the detention, but New Zealand is the first country to take practical steps in the field of diplomacy. According to Reuters, Prime Minister Jeokshinda Adan said at a press conference, “We suspend all forms of high-level contact with Myanmar. “Our strong message is to do what New Zealand can do.” He emphasized, “Efforts have been made to establish democracy in Myanmar over the past few years, but in recent days, everyone must have despaired because of the military situation,” he said. Prime Minister Aden said, “Out of the economic support of $30.5 million (about KRW 34.1 billion) to Myanmar, we will exclude all military-related companies and
business areas that are controlled by the military. The entry of military personnel from Myanmar is also prohibited.” The Sankei Shimbun of Japan also reported that the Japanese government is considering suspending or reducing economic support to Myanmar.
Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta also said in a separate statement, “New Zealand does not recognize the legitimacy of the Myanmar government led by military forces. Immediately release all imprisoned politicians and restore democratic principles.”
