Kaïn massacre
2019 mass murder in Burkina Faso
The Kaïn massacre refers to the February 4, 2019 attack by Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) on the village of Kaïn, Yatenga Province, Burkina Faso that killed fourteen people. A reprisal counter-terrorist operation by Burkinabe forces following the attack reportedly killed 146 jihadists, although Human Rights Watch and local NGOS attested that at least 60 of the suspected jihadists killed were civilians.
