The 1798 Bureman Incident, otherwise known as the Bureman Incident or the November 24th Incident, (Mahanan: Barmana skvāyara ghaṭanā, बर्मन स्क्वायर घटना) was a military campaign in the village of Bureman, present day Mekabiri, which lead to the beginning of the Mahanan-Mekabirian War. Mahanan troops and Durkha armed with rifles and similar weaponry entered the small village after reports of a mass revolt. It ended in soldiers unleashing on the people of the village, with an estimated 300-2,000 fatalities. A majority of the fatalities came from Mekabirians living in the village, with the government of Mekabiri making claims that the soldiers involved targeted their people.
