Imphal, December 21 2023:
Kuki militants once again attacked several Meitei villages located within the jurisdiction of Yaingangpokpi police station in Imphal East district last night.
Kuki militants and other armed Kukis started firing toward Yaingangpokpi, Thamnapokpi, Sanasabi, Shantikhongbal and Sabungkhok Khunou at around 8.10 pm from the direction of Urangpat, Natumching, P Phaimol and Koune.
Although the Kuki militants and armed Kukis aborted their attack as security forces deployed around the Meitei villages retaliated, sporadic firing continued till 9 pm, according to the local people.
With Kuki militants and their supporters repeatedly targeting these Meitei villages since they launched their aggression against Meitei people on May 3, 2023, the Meitei residents have been staying away from their homes at safer places.
