Suspected IED Blast Destroys Bridge in Manipur's Kamjong, Telecom Vehicle Burned
A suspected improvised explosive device (IED) blast destroyed a Bailey bridge over the Namban Lok River in Manipur's Kamjong district, severing road access to over 10 villages and disrupting transportation and communication. A telecom vehicle parked nearby was also set on fire. Police have registered a suo motu case and are investigating the deliberate attack on critical infrastructure amid ongoing regional tensions. No group has claimed responsibility, and allegations against Kuki militants remain unverified.
