At least five killed in fresh Manipur violence
Armed groups, including those from across the Myanmar border, carried out the attacks; Kuki, Naga groups blame extremists from the other community for deaths; Kukis also blame IRB, calling for withdrawal of biased State forces
At least five individuals lost their lives in fresh clashes and attacks in Manipur’s Kamjong and Ukhrul districts since Friday evening. The victims included two Naga civilians, a Gurkha farmer, and members of extremist groups. The Working Committee of the Tangkhul Naga Long alleged that Kuki extremists attacked Indian Reserve Battalion personnel while they were on routine duty, leading to a gunfight.
Kuki organisations blamed the killing of community members on the Indian Army’s Indian Reserve Battalion and the National Socialist Council of Nagalim.
