Myanmar’s military, which ignited a coup yesterday early in the morning, replaced a large number of ministers of the civil government led by national advisor Aung San Suu Kyi.

Myanmar’s military has virtually closed its borders, with all airports halting passenger flights.

This is the home of Myanmar’s top leader, Aung San Suu Kyi,’National Advisor’.

Democratic Peoples League, NLD, which received more than 80% support in the general election in November last year, the mark is clear, but the door is firmly closed.

According to foreign media, Aung San Suu Kyi was reportedly forcibly detained at home here along with key NLD officials.

Major roads to the airports and parliament in major cities such as the capital Naepido and Yangon have also been closed.

Myanmar’s military has said it will close all airports in Myanmar by May 31.

It is observed that there is a high possibility that the border closure period will be extended in the future depending on the domestic situation in Myanmar.

Broadcasting, Internet, and communication are also unstable.

The Korean embassy in Myanmar called for Koreans to refrain from going out after the coup.

About 3,500 Koreans stay in Myanmar.

The military department that caused the coup deprived the positions of 24 ministers and vice ministers of the civil government and appointed 11 new ministers, including the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to serve in the military government.

Although Supreme Commander Min Aung Hlaing took full control of legislative, judicial, and administrative power, attention is paid to how to deal with the opposition from the international community and the civilian government in the future.
