As Myanmar’s military celebrated the annual Armed Forces Day holiday with a parade Saturday in the country’s capital, soldiers and police elsewhere reportedly killed dozens of people as they suppressed protests against last month’s coup.

A count issued by an independent researcher in Yangon who has been compiling near-real-time death tolls put the total by 9 p.m. at 100, spread over more than two dozen cities and towns. The online news site Myanmar Now earlier reported the death toll had reached 91.

Both numbers are higher than all estimates for the previous high on March 14, ranging from 74 to 90.

Figures collected by the researcher, who asked not to be named for his security, have generally tallied with the counts issued at the end of each day by the Assistance Association of Political Prisoners, which documents deaths and arrests widely seen as a definitive source. The Associated Press is unable to confirm the death tolls independently.

The killings quickly drew international condemnation, with multiple diplomatic missions to Myanmar releasing statements that mentioned civilians’ killing, including children.

“This 76th Myanmar armed forces day will stay engraved as a day of terror and dishonor,” the European Union’s delegation to Myanmar said on Twitter. “The killing of unarmed civilians, including children, are indefensible acts.”

U.S. Ambassador Thomas Vajda, in a statement, said, “security forces are murdering unarmed civilians.”

“These are not the actions of a professional military or police force,” he wrote. “Myanmar’s people have spoken clearly: they do not want to live under military rule.”
