The incident occurred just 48 hours after Myanmar-based attackers had killed four people in Kamjong district. The identities of the deceased, Rocky Mao and Kumar Poumai, were confirmed, with Mao being a Mao Naga and Poumai a Poumai Naga. Both men were from villages within Senapati district, which is predominantly inhabited by Naga communities. The victims' injuries were reported to be Ashiho Sani and Adani Manio, who also belong to the Mao Naga community. They were taken to a private hospital for treatment. The bodies of the deceased were brought to the Senapati District Hospital for autopsy and subsequent legal procedures. Manipur's Chief Minister, Yumnam Khemchand Singh, was in the area at the time of the killings while on an official visit. He attended a silver jubilee celebration of a missionary school in Mao, a town that borders Nagaland.",
