Two UKNA Militants Neutralized in Joint Army-Assam Rifles Operation in Manipur
In Manipur's Churachandpur district, a joint operation by the Indian Army and Assam Rifles neutralized two United Kuki National Army (UKNA) militants and injured two others on September 2, 2026. The intelligence-led operation targeted a UKNA camp near the tri-border area of Myanmar, Assam, and Mizoram. Security forces recovered multiple weapons and military supplies, destroying the camp afterward. The UKNA, a banned group not party to the Suspension of Operations agreement, has been involved in armed violence and local extortion. Combing operations continue in the area.
