Several Militants Killed in Rival Naga Groups' Gunfight in Manipur's Noney District
At least three to four militants were killed in a pre-dawn gunfight on November 4 between rival Naga militant groups, including factions of the Zeliangrong United Front (Jenchui and Kamson) and the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN-IM), in Taodaijang village, Noney district, Manipur. The prolonged exchange of fire forced villagers to flee and delayed security response. Local community leaders, including the Rongmei Naga Luphuam, appealed for peace and cessation of hostilities. Details on the cause and exact casualties remain unconfirmed.
