Dimapur, May 09: More reports of killings have come in from Dimapur today as the build-up between the NSCN-IM and the NSCN-Unification continues to heighten.

Reports said that two "officers" of the NSCN-IM were abducted and killed in Dimapur today by the NSCN-Unification.

In two separate incidents, Joint Secretary Atong Pongener and Section Officer (SO) Athikho Mao, both NSCN-IM men were abducted and killed in Dimapur today by the NSCN-Unification.
