Large anti-military protests are taking place in the Myanmar cities of Yangon, Mandalay and Davao despite police crackdowns.
There have been reports of casualties in the protests, but it is difficult to confirm.
Myanmar's February 1 military coup, which ousted and detained the country's top elected political leadership, including Aung San Suu Kyi, has sparked widespread protests and demonstrations.
Videos posted on the country's social media on Sunday showed protesters running to evade police baton charges, temporary barricades on highways and several people being drenched in blood. ۔
The police crackdown, which began in full swing on Saturday, was extended as military rulers sought to end a large-scale, peaceful civil disobedience campaign in the country. However, there is no prospect of an end to it yet.
Police in Yangon, the country's largest city, fired tear gas and stun grenades after protesters failed to disperse. Blood can be seen on city streets in videos coming on social media while the injured are being taken away with the help of fellow protesters.
A doctor told Reuters that a man had died in hospital after being shot in the chest. Protesters were still on the streets and had set up barricades.
"If they press us, we will stand up again. If they attack us, we will defend ourselves. We will never bow to the army," Nyan Wen-sheen, a protester, told Reuters.
"As soon as we got there, the police started firing at us. They didn't warn us even once. Some people were injured and a few were injured," Amy Ciao told AFP. The teacher is still hiding in the neighbors' houses.
Some demonstrators have been arrested with the police buses.
Security forces stormed a rally in Myanmar's southeastern city of Dewa. There are reports of police firing. At least one person was killed and more than a dozen were injured in the clashes, according to The Divine Watch Media.
An emergency worker told Reuters three people had been killed and the death toll was expected to rise.
Police are also widespread action in Mandalay, where police fired water cannon and air to disperse the demonstrators.
Demonstrations against the military coup are also taking place in the northeastern city of Lashko.
The number of people arrested since the beginning of the protests and demonstrations in the country has not been confirmed. The political prisoner watchdog puts the number at 850, but hundreds more are expected to be detained this weekend.
Aung San G was thinking of you?
Myanmar's political leader Aung San Suu Kyi has not been seen in public since her capture during a military coup. He was detained on February 1 during a military coup in Myanmar's capital, Nay Pyi Taw.
Proponents of her case have been working to make the actual transcript of this statement available online. His party did worse than expected from opinion polls, which saw them at gaining about a third of the support.
Aung San Suu Kyi is due to face trial on Monday for possessing an unregistered walkie-talkie and violating Corona virus laws, but her lawyer says she has not been contacted.
Military leaders have accused the election of widespread fraud and rigging to justify the seizure of power, but the country's electoral committee has rejected the claims.
The military coup in Myanmar has been condemned around the world and banned.
Seven people have been killed and several others injured in protests against a military coup in Myanmar.
According to the news agency Reuters, this information was given by political and medical sources on Sunday.
Protests have intensified since the arrest of political leader Aung San Suu Kyi and her party leaders following a military coup in Myanmar.
Myanmar's ambassador to the United Nations has called for action against the military
Myanmar's ambassador to the United Nations has been fired for appealing for action against the army.
Myanmar's ambassador to the UN General Assembly, Chou Mutun, who called for the ouster of Myanmar's government, had called on the international community to take all necessary steps against the occupying forces earlier this month. He also presented a three-finger slot on the occasion.
The people of Myanmar use it as a symbol of resistance against the military. US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas Greenfield called on all member states to use all available means to convince Myanmar's military that violence against the people of Myanmar will not be tolerated.
The UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy for Myanmar, Christine Schranner-Bergner, said she was committed to acting as a bridge between the military and democratically elected government officials.
He also said he had asked the military to allow him to meet with officials, including Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar's ousted pragmatist.
