Imphal, November 12 2014:
Militants attacked a team of 9th Assam Rifles at Haollenphai village near Moreh this morning with explosives.
This is the second attack in the last 48 hours against AR troops after two personnel of 26th AR were killed and three others wounded when some UG cadres attacked them near Behiang village, close to Myanmar border in Churachandpur district yesterday.
Some troops of 9th AR posted at Moreh were moving in vehicles on QRT duty when the militants set off an IED targeting their vehicles at around 11.30 am today.
However, there is no report of any casualty.
Soon after, additional AR troops rushed to the area and conducted a search operation.
It is being speculated that the IED was planted by some militants who sneaked into the village from across the border.
So far, no UG group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
