Four Kuki Civilians Killed, Child Injured in Manipur Attacks on 'Black Day'
On September 13, two separate attacks in Manipur's Tamenglong and Noney districts killed four Kuki civilians, including a couple, and injured their six-year-old son. The incidents occurred on the Kuki community's 'Black Day,' commemorating victims of 1990s ethnic violence. No group has claimed responsibility, though Kuki organisations allege involvement of Naga insurgents. Authorities have launched investigations, with local bodies condemning the attacks and calling for calm and justice amid ongoing ethnic tensions in the region.
