Military truck rams into a crowd of peaceful protesters in Myanmar

At least five people were killed and several others injured when a military truck crashed into a group of peaceful protesters at an anti-coup rally in Yangon on Sunday (5 December).

The incident, as you can see in the above video, shows a speeding army truck crashing into the protesters from behind.

The military in Myanmar has yet to comment on the use of the truck to ram into protesters, and said they had arrested at least 15 people they described as “rioters” from the march.
