The top government spokesman lodged a protest with the government of Myanmar for the death of a Japanese journalist, after security forces indiscriminately fired at demonstrators in Yangon.

"The Japanese government urged Myanmar not to use force to suppress the demonstration. It's tragic that a Japanese national lost his life in the incident, and we strongly protest to the Myanmar government," Chief Cabinet Secretary Nobutaka Machimura said.

The Foreign Ministry confirmed Thursday that Kenji Nagai, 50, a freelance video journalist who worked for Tokyo-based APF News, died after being shot while covering Myanmar security forces' crackdown of demonstrators in Yangon.

Myanmar's state-run TV reported that nine people including Nagai died, and 11 others were injured after security forces fired shots at demonstrators on Thursday. (Mainichi)
