Water cannons were used earlier to disperse protesters, who are demanding democracy be restored following a coup which removed the elected government.

The military has brought in bans on large public gatherings and introduced night-time curfews in some cities.

But protests have gone ahead in several cities for the fourth consecutive day.

Military leader Min Aung Hlaing warned on Monday that no one is above the law, although he did not issue a direct threat to protesters.

A broadcast on Burmese state TV following his speech said action “must be taken” against those breaking the law in the Southeast Asian nation.

How is the police reacting to protesters?
A BBC reporter in Nay Pyi Taw said officers used a water cannon before firing into the crowd which had gathered on Tuesday.

One resident told news agency AFP they initially “fired warning shots to the sky two times, then they fired [at protesters] with rubber bullets”.

The crowd had earlier withstood the barrage of water fired at them and refused to retreat, according to Reuters news agency.

“End the military dictatorship”, people yelled out.

According to BBC Burmese reporters, protesters in Nay Pyi Taw were even joined by a police officer. There have been other reports of officers crossing over to take part in the demonstrations, as protesters called on the police to join their cause.
