Myanmar's military seizes country's London embassy

Myanmar’s ambassador in London said Wednesday that he has been kicked out of the embassy building by the country’s military attaché.

Kyaw Zwar Minn said the embassy staff were asked to leave the building by a representative of Myanmar's military in the UK and he was told he was no longer the country's representative.

The ambassador said he was locked out when he spoke to local media, describing the incident as "a kind of coup, in the middle of London.”

“They are refusing to let me inside. They said they received instruction from the capital, so they are not going to let me in,” he said.
