Militant Attacks Along Manipur-Myanmar Border Raise Security and Displacement ConcernsPreviousNext

Recent violence along the Indo-Myanmar border in Manipur has involved attacks on Naga villages by militants allegedly linked to the Myanmar-based Kuki National Army-Burma (KNA-B). The Meitei Alliance and Naga Village Guard condemned the attacks, which have caused civilian casualties, property damage, and displacement. Phungyar MLA Leishiyo Keishing criticized Assam Rifles for security lapses during an October 10 attack that killed two villagers. Authorities continue investigations, and calls have been made for improved security and support for affected communities.
