Dimapur, August 16 2015:
Assam Rifles (AR) post at Anutongre in Nagaland was allegedly attacked by suspected NSCN (K) cadres early hours on Sunday.
"The Assam Rifles post at Anutongre is located in midst of the village and the firing carried out by the insurgents at the post endangered the lives of the innocent civilians residing near the Assam Rifles post," a release issued by the IGAR (North) stated.
According to the AR, such incident only reflected the "nefarious" design of NSCN (K) cadres who were willing to disrupt peace and tranquility in Nagaland at the cost of innocent civilian lives.
"It is suspected that during the exchange of fire, one cadre has been neutralized and one has been seriously wounded.
The civil population has expressed "anguish and resentment" against the firing by NSCN (K) cadres, said the release issued by IGAR (North) .
