Myanmar-Thai border appears calm amid coup
A portion of Myanmar's border with Thailand appeared calm on late Monday (February 1) afternoon, following a military coup in Myanmar against the democratically elected government of Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.
At the Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge in Western Thailand, very little security could be seen. Thailand closed a portion of the bridge last year to curtail the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Myanmar's military seized power on Monday in a coup against the democratically elected government of Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, who was detained along with other leaders of her National League for Democracy (NLD) party in early morning raids.
The army said it had carried out the detentions in response to "election fraud," handing power to military chief Min Aung Hlaing and imposing a state of emergency for one year, according to a statement on a military-owned television station.
