On Friday evening in Manipur’s Bishnupur district, a convoy of the 33 Assam Rifles was ambushed by “unidentified terrorists” on National Highway 2 near Nambol Sabal Leikai, about 8 km from Imphal airport. The attack occurred around 5:50 pm; two personnel—Naib Subedar Shyam Gurung and Rifleman Ranjit Singh Kashyap—were killed, while five others were injured and rushed to the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal, where their condition is stable. Search operations are underway to track down the assailants. The incident follows recent violence in the state amid ongoing tensions between the Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities.
