Imphal, Sept. 17 -- At least five houses were set ablaze after suspected Kuki militants attacked Chawangkining, a Naga village, in ethnic violence-hit Manipur's Kangpokpi late Tuesday , triggering a gunfight. The attack is the latest in a series of assaults in the state that have left six people dead in four days. Two Kuki women were gunned down in Tamenglong on Tuesday, two days after four people from the community were shot dead. Police said a case has been registered over the violence in Chawangkining even as no group claimed responsibility for the attack. Daniel Charenamai, a Chawangkining resident, said heavily armed Kuki militants attacked the village at 10.30 pm on Tuesday, which continued till around 5am on Wednesday. Chawangkining, around 13 km from Kangpokpi district headquarters, is a Naga Liangmai village situated between Naga and Kuki villages. "Other communities, including Nepalis, Mao, Rongmei, and Paomei, also live in the village. We have been living in the village with peace and harmony. Around 100 heavily armed militants launched the [Tuesday] attack and set ablaze at least five houses and my shop," said Danniel. He accused security forces of inaction. "Who should we blame? No security forces were able to come to our rescue. They reached this [Tuesday] morning to douse the fire. We appealed to the concerned to take necessary steps and set up a security force post in the village." Residents said that Naga village guards retaliated and no injuries were reported. As many as 30 Kuki and Naga have been killed since Naga-Kuki tensions erupted in February. Four abandoned Naga homes were set on fire at Khedaghar in Tamenglong on Sunday evening in a retaliatory attack hours after four Kukis were killed in separate attacks earlier that day. The Nagas had left their homes in Khedaghar weeks ago fearing Kuki retaliation amid heightened tensions between the two communities. A couple was among the four Kukis killed in Manipur's Tamenglong district on Sunday while a six-year-old sustained a bullet injury. Kukis blamed the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isaac Muivah and Zeliangrong United Front-Kamson for the attacks, coinciding with the "Black Day", which Kukis observe annually on September 13 in memory of the victims of ethnic violence during the Kuki-Naga conflict in the 1990s....
