Myanmar’s ruling junta has declared martial law in parts of the country’s largest city as security forces killed dozens more protesters in an increasingly lethal crackdown on resistance to last month’s military coup.

At least 38 people were killed on Sunday and dozens were injured in one of the deadliest days since the coup, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners, an independent group tracking the toll of the violence.
