To keep you updated on what happened in Myanmar in the last 24 hours, here are the main events of the day four months after the putsch.

Basic education schools reopened across Myanmar, as June 1 is the annual back-to-school day in the country. However, the majority of students shunned schools as part of the nationwide civil disobedience movement against the military regime.

Five junta soldiers died in fighting between the Karen National Union and junta forces in Papun District, Karen State, the Karen ethnic armed organization said.
