Two Naga Civilians Killed, Two Injured in Manipur Amid Blockade Suspension
Two Naga civilians were killed and two others injured in a shooting at Kalenjang village in Manipur's Senapati district on September 26, hours after the United Naga Council suspended its four-month economic blockade. The victims belonged to Mao and Poumai Naga communities. Local sources allege involvement of Kuki militants, though this remains unverified. The incident follows earlier attacks, including the killing of four Tangkhul Naga civilians near the Myanmar border. Manipur's Chief Minister condemned the violence and called for investigations amid ongoing ethnic tensions.
