Myanmar's military has seized power after detaining Aung San Suu Kyi and other democratically elected leaders.
Communications are limited, troops are patrolling the streets and a one-year state of emergency has been declared.
The UN said it was a "serious blow to democratic reforms", with the US and UK among those also opposing the coup.
The army's move follows a landslide election win for Ms Suu Kyi's party in November. She has urged her supporters to "protest against the coup".
In a letter written in preparation for her impending detention, she said the military's actions would put the country back under a dictatorship.
The military has already announced replacements for a number of ministers.
