Conflicting accounts have emerged of an alleged massacre at a monastery in Myanmar's Southern Shan State, where at least 22 people, including three monks, were killed. Local insurgent groups and the military-backed junta have accused each other of carrying out the attack. Since the military coup in 2021, at least 2,900 people in Myanmar have been killed by junta troops and over 17,500 arrested, according to advocacy group Assistance Association for Political Prisoners.
