Britain said on Saturday evening that it will consider “further measures” after Burmese police and soldiers opened fire at protesters earlier in the day.

Two people were killed in Burma’s second city Mandalay on Saturday when police and soldiers fired to disperse protests against the Feb. 1 military coup, the bloodiest day in more than two weeks of demonstrations. Burma is also known as Myanmar.
