Escalating unrest in Manipur sees three Border Security Forces (BSF) personnel sustaining bullet injuries in a mob attack on the Thoubal district police headquarters. The violence follows the killing of two police personnel in Moreh just hours earlier, marking the second such incident in two-and-a-half months. Security forces dispersed the mob at the 3rd Indian Reserve Battalion complex, but armed miscreants fired live rounds during an attempt to breach Thoubal Police Headquarters. Amid the chaos, Manipur's Home Department Commissioner urgently requests "air assets" or helicopters for a minimum of seven days to address emergency requirements in the region.
