Adverse weather from Typhoon Yagi, the strongest storm to hit Asia this year, has killed hundreds of people in Vietnam and Thailand, and floodwaters from swollen rivers have inundated cities in both countries. The flooding in Myanmar began last Monday, with at least 74 people killed by Friday, based on state media reports. Myanmar has been in turmoil since a military coup in February 2021, and violence has engulfed large parts of the country. “Central Myanmar is currently the hardest hit, with numerous rivers and creeks flowing down from Shan hills,” the OCHA said. State media also reported that five dams, four pagodas and more than 65,000 houses were destroyed by the flooding.

BANGKOK (AP) — Military-ruled Myanmar on Tuesday allowed prisoners to have family visitors from outside, a right that had been suspended for 3½ years because of the coronavirus pandemic, the military’s information office and prison officials said. Visitors must be able to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccinations and a household relationship to the prisoner being met. Family visitation rights were suspended after the coronavirus pandemic began in early 2020. Most sectors of society gradually reduced or dropped testing requirements and other virus-fighting measures since 2022, but family visits to prisoners had remained banned. The total number of prisoners held in Myanmar, not only political detainees, isn't publicly known.

Here is Proxyrack's advice for avoiding five of the most common Black Friday scams you'll see this weekend. Most Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals will be advertised up front on retailer's websites, Proxyrack said. As you're scouring different websites, double-check each website's URL to make sure it's legitimate before entering any personal information, Proxyrack advised.
Armata din Myanmar taxează cu 85 de dolari familiile activiștilor morți în timpul manifestațiilor violente din această țară, care vin să-și ridice rudele decedate de la morgă, scrie CNN, citând mai mulți activiști. Armata din Myanmar a tras împotriva protestatarilor cu arme de asalt, lansatoare de grenade și grenade de mână, mai spune AAPP. De la începutul loviturii de stat de pe 1 februarie, peste 700 de oameni și-au pierdut viața în urma violențelor și peste 3.000 au fost arestați. Informația a fost confirmată și de Radio Asia Liberă. Pe de altă parte, armata din Myanmar susține că a fost atacată de protestatari la Bago, potrivit ziarului guvernamental Noua Lumină.

Cele mai multe victime au fost înregistrate în orașul Yangon, acolo unde forțele de securitate au împușcat și ucis cel puțin 22 de oameni, transmite CNN. Totodată, alte 16 persoane au murit duminică în alte regiuni din Myamar, inclusiv în Mandalay și Bago. Bilanțul victimelor de la declanșarea protestelor la începutul lunii februarie și până în prezent a ajuns la cel puțin 126 de morți. Proteste în masă au loc în Myanmar în fiecare zi, de când armata a preluat controlul asupra țării. Lovitura de stat a fost dată chiar cu câteva ore înainte ca noul parlament să-și înceapă prima sesiune.
