Kuki militants continued to attack Meitei villages at Koutruk and Senjam Chirang areas located in between Imphal West district and Kangpokpi district under Lamsang police station for the third consecutive day.
The Kuki militants used sophisticated weapons and bombs in attacking the Meitei villages this morning but there is no report of any injury.
The Kuki militants fired several rounds of bullets toward the said villages since last night and continued till past midnight which was also retaliated by security personnel.
They (Kuki militants) ceased firing toward the security personnel just before dawn.
They fired four rounds of bomb shells using long range pipe bomb launchers followed by a volley of bullets using sophisticated weapons at around 4.45 am.
The bomb shells fired by the Kuki militants landed near a bunker manned by IRB personnel.
IRB and Central armed police personnel stationed in the village retaliated by firing toward the bunkers of Kuki militants built on the hill located some distance away on the western side of Koutruk and Senjam Chirang.
The firing lasted for around 20 minutes but there was no report of any injuries during the gunfight.
Even though the Kuki militants ceased firing after the morning attack, security personnel have taken up extra security and preventive measures to foil further attempts to attack civilians by Kuki militants.
