Kohima, September 03 2016: A convoy of Assam Rifles was ambushed by militants in an area between Ghokishe and Luvishe villages in Zunheboto district of Nagaland injuring a security personnel.

The intermittent exchange of gunfire lasted for around half an hour on Friday, police said.

According to Assam Rifles, one of their personnel sustained an injury on his leg and it was not life-threatening.

No civilian was injured in the attack, police said.

The Khaplang faction of the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K) has claimed responsibility for carrying out the ambush and said six Assam Rifles personnel were confirmed dead in the attack.

In a statement mailed to The Sangai Express the outfit claimed that cadres of 'Operation Dawn' of the outfit attacked a four vehicle convoy of the Assam Rifles that were returning to Zunheboto at about 4 pm near Aghunato town.

The last truck was completely destroyed and fell into a roadside ditch while all the occupants of the vehicle were likely killed and injured, claimed the outfit.
