Manipur: 1 killed as armed assailants attack village defence force
The incident took place on Sunday morning.
Women and children from the village had been moved out to Churachandpur earlier following ethnic clashes on May 3. It was guarded by the village defence force only. On Sunday, around 30 people climbed a small hill and attacked the village defence force members. One person was killed in the firing, officials said. The assailants escaped after the Assam Rifles reached the spot.
Manipur has been witnessing ethnic clashes since May 3 and over 160 people have lost their lives so far.
Last week witnessed a few violence-free days but the lull was broken with the killing of a Nara Maring woman in Imphal West on Saturday. Police have arrested nine people in connection with the woman’s killing.
