Two Killed, Three Injured in Suspected Militant Attack in Manipur's Kangpokpi District
On August 14, suspected Kuki militants attacked Langka Naga village in Manipur's Kangpokpi district, killing two Naga men and injuring three others while they worked in a paddy field. The Liangmai Naga Council declared a shutdown in response, condemning the violence and demanding justice. Security forces launched search operations amid ongoing ethnic tensions between Naga and Kuki communities, which have caused numerous deaths and displacements since early 2023. Local groups urge government action to restore peace and protect civilians.
