Nine Killed in Fresh Clashes Between Naga and Kuki Communities in Manipur
Fresh violence between Naga and Kuki communities in Manipur's Kamjong, Ukhrul, and Kangpokpi districts has resulted in at least nine deaths and the burning of multiple houses and shops. The clashes escalated after the killing of Domkhonei Touthang, a Kuki woman, during a security operation near Chassad police station. Authorities imposed prohibitory orders to curb further violence, and Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh condemned the killings, urging restraint and dialogue. Investigations and security deployments continue amid ongoing tensions.
