Manipur Militant Attacks Result in Civilian Deaths and Recovery of Severed Head
In Manipur, a suspected NSCN-IM ambush in Kamjong district left one woman dead, her husband injured, and two civilians missing while traveling for essential goods.

The Joint Tribes Council has demanded arrests and criticized the government's handling of militant activities amid ongoing ethnic clashes between Naga and Kuki communities, which have caused over 50 deaths this year.
