Myanmar's military has imposed an 8pm to 6am curfew across the country, reports the Al Jazeera.

Street vendors in the main city of Yangon scrambled to pack away their stalls as the curfew approached on Monday evening, Ben Small, a resident in the city, posted on Twitter.

"It is now eerily quiet in Yangon as people obediently adhere to the sudden curfew. It's like the early days of the Covid-19 lockdown in Myanmar last April when the howling street dogs reclaimed the city," Small wrote on Twitter.
