Burma (also known as Myanmar) troops fired at anti-coup protesters on Wednesday, killing at least 13 people and wounding several, media said, as a series of small blasts hit the commercial capital Yangon and a Chinese-owned factory was set on fire.
The country’s military ruler said the civil disobedience movement was “destroying” Burma.
