YANGON, Dec 2 (dpa): Myanmar's military on Monday imposed an 8pm to 6am curfew across the country hours after seizing power in a coup and imposing a year-long state of emergency.

The move came hours after soldiers arrested de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other senior members of the ruling party in pre-dawn raids following days of escalating tensions.
