The reports came from three hospitals — Yangon General, Hlaing Tharyar, and Thingangyun Sanpya — but doctors and rescue workers expect the final toll to be much higher, Myanmar Now stated.
The largest demonstrations were reportedly held in Yangon, Mandalay, Bago, and Hpakan.
Regardless of the casualties, the protests have continued in Mandalay and Yangon since Monday morning, Myanmar Now noted.
On Feb. 1, the country’s military overthrew the civilian government, arrested State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint, and declared a year-long state of emergency.
This week marks the sixth week since the protests against military rule started in Myanmar.
