In December 2021, BBC News reported the Myanmar military carried out four mass killings in July 2021 as part of the unrest following the country's 2021 coup d'etat. The BBC's investigation, which characterized Kani Township as "an opposition stronghold", interviewed 11 alleged witnesses to the killings, and compared them to cell phone videos and photographs collected by Myanmar Witness, a UK-based NGO. The investigation concluded that over 40 people in Kani Township were killed by the military, including at least 14 in one killing in the village of Yin.
