Army appears in full control of the country amid reports hundreds of MPs are being confined in government housing, unable to leave
Myanmar’s military appeared in firm control of the country on Tuesday morning, one day after it launched a coup and detained Aung San Suu Kyi, whose whereabouts remain unclear.
The military’s actions provoked widespread international condemnation, with US president, Joe Biden, threatening sanctions and calling for governments to press for the military to release detainees. The UN security council will meet to discuss the matter on Tuesday.
