Sputnik is live from Yangon, Myanmar, as mass demonstrations continue in the nation's largest city following a military takeover that occurred earlier this month.
The protests are being held as the nation celebrates the birthday of a key figure in Myanmar's independence - General Aung San, who is a founder of the Myanmar Armed Forces and father of recently arrested State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi.
Over the course of continued anti-coup protests, demonstrators have clashed with police, who used water cannons and rubber-coated bullets to disperse the crowds.
