Security forces in Manipur have deployed anti-drone systems after militants escalated violence with drones and rockets since September 1. At least 18 drones have been shot down in the last six months. Assam Rifles and CRPF units are using advanced technology to counter the threat, while Manipur Police is procuring more anti-drone equipment. Recent drone attacks have killed one person, leading Chief Minister N. Biren Singh to condemn the acts as terrorism. A central government committee is investigating the use of explosive-laden drones, with a report due by September 13.
