Militant Attacks in Manipur Kill Several, Trigger Protests and Security Measures
Violence in Manipur's Kamjong and Imphal districts has escalated, with suspected militants killing at least four people and injuring several others during attacks on firewood collectors and villages. At least 28 houses were torched in Kamjong, affecting both Naga and Kuki communities, prompting civilians to flee. Protests erupted in Imphal, where locals placed victims' bodies outside Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh's residence, leading to police firing tear gas to disperse crowds. Authorities have deployed security forces and transferred district police officials amid calls for investigations and increased protection.
