As the Kuki militants and their supporters buried their dead today and gave gun salute to the deceased, a stray bullet hit a seven year old girl at Kwakta Ward No 1, Bishnupur district.
Sounds of bomb explosions and countless numbers of gunshots could be heard on the western hill range of Torbung, Bangla, Phougakchao Ikhai, Kwakta and Terakhongshangbi starting from 7 pm .
It is suspected that the bombs and gunshots were fired by Kuki militants as a way of paying tribute to those people who were buried today in Churachandpur.
At around 7.30 pm, a stray bullet suspected to have been fired by armed Kukis hit Sabiya Sahani (7) d/o Phisubam Abdul Hakim of Kwakta ward No 1 on the head.
Sabiya was first rushed to Kwakta PHC but she was later referred to Bishnupur district hospital.
