Kuki militants launched a fresh wave of assault at Terakhongshangbi Maning Leikai and Tronglaobi Makha Maning Leikai under Moirang police station using sophisticated weapons and bombs.
The assault began last night and it continued till early morning today but it was sporadic.
No casualty has been reported so far.
It may be mentioned that Terakhongshangbi Maning Leikai and Tronglaobi Makha Maning Leikai were attacked by Kuki militants using local made bombs, lathode bombs and mortal shells on July 27 too.
Reportedly, one 81 mm mortar shell fell on one Meitei house at Kwakta Ward no 8 under Phougakchao Ikhai police station at around 2.30 am but it fortunately didn't explode.
The shell was picked up and defused safely by the Army at around 5 pm.
It is further reported that there are only two Meitei houses at Kwakta Ward no 8 so the shell may have been fired by a highly trained person to target the Meiteis.
The house belongs to Oinam Sanjoy, s/o O Yaima.
Speaking to the media, Sanjoy said that the shell fell inside his house after piercing through the roof.
