Claiming the responsibility for the bomb blast at Kumbi that left one AR jawan killed and several others injured, the proscribed outfit, Revolutionary People's Front (RPF) has informed that the blast was triggered by its armed wing, People's Liberation Army (PLA) .
In a statement signed by its Secretary Publicity T Leishemba, RPF said that the blast which was triggered at a spot in between Kangshoibi Khong and Uchal Makhong was aimed at the patrol party of 33 AR (B-Coy) posted at Moirang Khunou Block.
The blast might have killed at least four AR personnel while leaving many others critically injured.
Cautioning the people, the statement warned that the 'frustrated' security personnel might turn their guns on the innocent civilians if the death toll in such attacks increases day by day and said that the people should stay away from security personnel as far as possible since PLA will continue its attack without wasting any chances.
