Two Dead, Several Injured in Factional Clashes Between ZUF Groups in Manipur
A factional gunfight between two Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) factions, ZUF-Jenchui and ZUF-Kamson, occurred in Manipur's Noney district, resulting in at least two deaths and six injuries over two days. The clashes took place in remote forested areas, including Nungtek and Oktan villages, hindering security forces' access. The deceased include Dingtiplung Gonmei of ZUF-Kamson and Jagailung of ZUF-Jenchui. Both factions have not issued official statements, and police continue to verify casualty details amid ongoing tensions rooted in longstanding factional rivalries within the ZUF.
