Imphal, Aug. 26 -- Joint security forces conducted an extensive search operation in Manipur's Senapati district on August 25, following days of ethnic tension and violence between Naga and Kuki communities.

The operation covered Taphou Kuki and Taphou Liangmai Naga villages, where security personnel carried out house-to-house searches after incidents of arson and a gunfight the previous day left a CRPF personnel injured.

According to police, the searches were conducted without resistance from local residents. No arrests or detentions were reported during the operation.
