Now Playing(Mar. 3) There have been more deaths in Myanmar - after security forces opened fire on pro-democracy protesters.
In Mandalay, several people were killed - after teachers and students gathered to demonstrate against the coup. This despite the military telling its forces not to use live ammunition as international condemnation grows.
In Yangon thick white smoke could be seen rising as demonstrators, many wearing construction helmets and carrying makeshift shields, were pushed back by police.
Despite authorities' increasingly brutal crackdown, demonstrators have continued to flood the streets and are beginning to more rigorously resist attempts to disperse them.
Some fear the junta's escalating use of force is meant to provoke a violent backlash by the protesters, in order to discredit them and justify an even harsher crackdown.
