Myanmar fitness instructor accidentally captures coup unfolding - BBC News

A fitness instructor accidentally caught part of Myanmar's military coup unfolding on camera in the country's capital, Naypyitaw.

Aerobics teacher Khing Hnin Wa posted the footage to Facebook on Monday morning (1 February), in the background, a convoy of armoured cars can be seen streaming by, suggesting all is not as it seems.

At the time, the Myanmar army was in the process of detaining Aung San Suu Kyi and other democratically elected leaders from her party National League for Democracy.

Can’t believe some people criticize her for not doing anything. Like do they expect her charge at them and lift their vehicles in order to stop them lmao
