Moirang, August 20 2023:
Carrying on the offensive which they launched on May 3 by opening indiscriminate fire and burning down hundreds of Meitei houses at Torbung, Kuki militants opened fire toward Chandonpokpi village today from atop a hillock.
Kuki militants fired around 20 shots towards Chandonpokpi village from atop a hillock located in between Kamson Tampak and Gwaltabi at around 5.10 pm today.
However, police commandos and IRB personnel stationed in the area did not fire back.
There was no report of any casualty.
Notably BSF troops are deployed at the hills located just North of Kamson Tampak while ITBP personnel are deployed at nearby Laisan Tampak.
One villager said that they saw a drone hovering over Chandonpokpi and Pombikhok last night for quite a long time before Kuki militants opened fire towards Chandonpokpi today.
