홍콩 시위대-경찰 격렬 충돌…中 주둔군 막사 '경고 깃발' 올라
A ban on face masks inflamed an already tense situation in Hong Kong over the weekend with violence occurring on Saturday and Sunday.
And for the first time during the four months of demonstrations, the protests have provoked a reaction from one of the city's army bases.
For more on this and other news around the world, let's turn to our Kim Da-mi.
Da-mi, tell us more about this worrying new development.
Right Mark, a yellow flag warning protesters was spotted on the roof of the People's Liberation Army barracks on Sunday night.
According to local media, the flag read "all consequences are at your own risk" in English and Cantonese.
The first such reaction came after clashes flared up between Hong Kong police and demonstrators.
Tens of thousands of people marched through Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Tong over the weekend, demanding greater democracy.
Most covered their faces with medical masks,...even facepaint and Halloween masks, shouting that face masks should not be illegal.
The protests again turned violent,...with police firing tear gas at protesters while some protesters threw bricks and petrol bombs.
Last Friday, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam invoked the Emergency Regulations Ordinance to ban the wearing of face masks at protests.
