Indian Army and Assam Rifles Defuse 27 IEDs in Manipur's Kamjong District
Security forces, including Assam Rifles and Indian Army bomb disposal teams, defused 27 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) along an 8-km stretch of the Shangkhalok-Pilong route in Manipur's Kamjong district near the Myanmar border. The operation took place from October 4 to 7, with sniffer dogs deployed to locate the devices concealed in bushes. This followed the killing of four Tangkhul Naga civilians by suspected militants near Pilong village on September 24. Authorities said the operation helped maintain peace and secure local border communities.
