The camera of a woman doing an aerobics dance in the same place every morning captured the situation at the time of the military coup in Myanmar.
Several black vehicles are guarded by soldiers and lined up through the barricade in the direction of the council.
Immediately after the coup, the Myanmar military deprived of the positions of 24 ministers of the civil government and began to change the cabinet.
Supreme Commander Min Aung Hlaing, who led the coup, is a person who has been sanctioned by the United Nations after being designated as the lead in the massacre of the Rohingya ethnic minority in 2017.

The UN condemned the military coup in Myanmar and called the Security Council.

US President Joe Biden also issued a statement and condemned the coup as an “attack on democracy” and warned of sanctions.
Myanmar’s military is known to have close relations with China, and some analysts say that this will be the first test for the United States to return as a defender of democracy around the world.
Locally, there is a procession to withdraw money from some hoarding and banks.
There are 3,500 Korean residents, and it is said that there have been no cases of damage.
