Police in Myanmar's capital Nay Pyi Taw has used water cannon on workers conducting a nationwide strike against a military coup.
Thousands are taking part in the third day of street protests, calling for the release of elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi and for democracy to be restored.
State TV has warned protesters that action will be taken if they threaten public safety or the "rule of law".
It comes a day after Myanmar saw its largest protest in more than a decade.
Last week the military seized power after claiming without evidence that an earlier election was fraudulent.
They also declared a year-long state of emergency in Myanmar, also known as Burma, and power has been handed over to commander-in-chief Min Aung Hlaing.
Ms Suu Kyi and senior leaders of her National League for Democracy Party (NLD), including President Win Myint, have been put under house arrest.
Who is on the streets?
By Monday morning, tens of thousands of people had gathered in Nay Pyi Taw for the strike, with other cities such as Mandalay and Yangon also reporting significant numbers, according to BBC Burmese. The protesters include teachers, lawyers, bank officers, and government workers.
One demonstrating doctor - who did not want to be named - told the BBC: "Today, we, professionals - especially civil servant professionals such as doctors, engineers, and teachers - came out to show that we are all together in this. Our objective is the same - to make the dictatorship fall."
Online there had been calls asking workers to skip work to protest.
"This is a workday, but we aren't going to work even if our salary will be cut," one protester, 28-year-old garment factory worker, Hnin Thazin, told news agency AFP.
Has it been peaceful?
A few injuries have been reported, but no violence.
However, a water cannon was activated in Nay Pyi Taw to disperse crowds. A video appears to show protesters rubbing their eyes and helping one another after being soaked.
Kyaw Zeyar Oo, who took the video, told the BBC that two vehicles had sprayed protesters with "no prior warning", while "the crowd was peacefully protesting in front of [the police]".
