Imphal, December 20 2011:
The proscribed UG group UNLF claimed that 10 AR personnel of 17 AR posted at Nambashi of Ukhrul district were killed and injured in an ambush carried out by cadres of MPA on December 19 at around 10 am.
The ambush was carried out by a fighting patrol of MPA from a distance of about 15 minutes walking distances when the AR personnel were on a routine patrol.
No cadres of MPA sustained injuries.
However, they could not complete the assault and take the arms of the personnel since the place was near the AR post, UNLF claimed.
UNLF further claimed that the attack on 36 AR in Old Somtal on Dec 15 was carried out by the party using claymore mines.
Contrary to the claim of AR that three personnel were injured in the attack, a section of the AR post suffered heavy casualty in the attack.
It also stated that the party will continue its assault against the Indian security forces relentlessly.
