A Kuki village in Manipur’s Noney district has reportedly been torched by unidentified armed men, according to media reports, intensifying ongoing ethnic tensions in the region. The incident is part of a broader pattern of violence in Manipur, where several villages in hill districts have recently faced arson attacks and armed clashes linked to the prolonged ethnic conflict between communities. Security forces have been deployed to assess the damage and prevent further escalation. Local organisations have alleged militant involvement, while investigations are ongoing to determine the attackers’ identity and motive. The situation has further deepened instability in the already conflict-hit northeastern state, raising fresh concerns about civilian safety and law and order. (PC: The Hindu)
