Abandoned Houses Set Ablaze Amid Ongoing Naga-Kuki Conflict in Manipur
In Manipur's Kangpokpi and Senapati districts, several abandoned houses in Kailenjang village were set ablaze on Monday. Reports differ on the number of homes affected and whether gunfire was involved. The incident follows escalating tensions amid the Naga-Kuki-Zo conflict, including recent attacks and retaliatory economic blockades by the United Naga Council and Kuki Civil Society Organisations. Security forces responded promptly, and talks between the Manipur government and UNC were held without resolution.
