Gunfight Between Rival Naga Groups in Manipur's Noney District Kills Three to Four MilitantsPreviousNext

A gunfight between rival Naga militant groups, including factions of the Zeliangrong United Front and the National Socialist Council of Nagalim, occurred early Wednesday in Taodaijang village, Manipur's Noney district. The clash lasted several hours, resulting in three to four militants killed and several injured. Locals, led by women, intervened to prevent further violence, using loudspeakers to urge cessation. Security forces launched operations afterward, and the Manipur government has formed district peace committees to promote dialogue and restore harmony amid ongoing tensions.
