Naga group blames Myanmar-based forces for deadly Manipur attack

The Working Committee of the Tangkhul Naga Long has blamed Myanmar-based armed groups and associated Kuki elements for an attack in Manipur’s Kamjong district that allegedly killed four Nagas. The committee attributed the incident at Pilong village to the Kuki National Army-Burma and Kuki elements backed by the Myanmar-based People’s Defence Force. The account was reported by The Hindu, which did not provide further details about when the attack took place, the identities of those killed or the circumstances surrounding the incident.

According to the committee, the incident was the third such attack along the India-Myanmar border in Kamjong district. The supplied account does not include a response from the accused groups, Indian authorities or Myanmar officials. The allegation therefore remains attributed to the Tangkhul Naga Long’s Working Committee.

No additional information on investigations, arrests or security measures was provided.
