BANGKOK: Myanmar's military government has denied reports of a new massacre of civilians by its troops, and instead blamed pro-democracy resistance groups for the deaths of more than 20 people, including three Buddhist monks and a woman.

Members of armed resistance groups opposed to the military government have said the bodies of 22 people were found on Saturday in the compound of the Buddhist monastery in Nam Nein village, in the southern part of Shan State in eastern Myanmar. They blamed the army for the deaths.
