New Delhi, Nov. 4 -- In the early hours today, during an intelligence-based operation, terrorists resorted to unprovoked firing on the Army column at Khanpi village, approximately 80 km West of Churachandpur, Manipur.
In the ensuing firefight between Security Forces and armed cadres of the United Kuki National Army (UKNA), a non-SOO insurgent group, 4 cadres of the terrorist group were neutralised, a statement from the Army spokesperson read.
The operation is still in progress, and a search of the adjoining areas is ongoing. This operation follows recent atrocities by UKNA cadres, including the killing of a village chief, intimidation of locals, and attempts to disrupt peace and stability in the region.
