The attempted assassination of Bai Yingneng was the first attack by the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) on Tatmadaw-aligned Kokang Border Guard Forces in Kokang, Myanmar. On February 5, 2021, MNDAA fighters ambushed a convoy transporting ousted governor Bai Yingneng (Chinese: 白应能, also known as Khin Maung Lwin), the son of former Kokang leader Bai Suocheng, killing nine civilians and three of Bai's bodyguards.
