Security forces in Manipur's Imphal East district successfully defused 27 country-made explosive devices found near Monglham village. This operation follows the earlier recovery of firearms and ammunition. Authorities are continuing search operations across Manipur, where ethnic violence between the Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities has resulted in over 260 deaths and displacement since May 2023. The state is currently under central administration, with security forces maintaining a high alert to prevent further violence.
