The U.S. Embassy in Myanmar on Sunday warned American citizens in that country to “shelter in place” as armored vehicles began rolling through major cities.

Reuters reported armored vehicles appeared in the cities of Yangon, Myitkyina and Sittwe. The news service noted this is the first large-scale rollout of such vehicles to occur in the country since the military on Feb. 1 overthrew the democratically elected government.
