U.S. embassy in Myanmar says received reports of curfews in 2 biggest cities

The United States embassy in Myanmar said on Monday it had received reports that a curfew had been imposed in the country's two biggest cities, after a third day of big protests over last week's coup.

The embassy said on Twitter the reports said curfews were imposed in the commercial capital Yangon and the second-biggest city Mandalay, from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. local time. It did not elaborate on the reports.
