A suspected rocket attack launched from the hillside into the valley in Bishnupur district resulted in the deaths of two children and left a woman seriously injured, marking a grim escalation in the ongoing ethnic conflict.
Security sources indicate the use of high-tech or improvised long-range rockets, a relatively new and concerning development, launched toward residential areas from elevated positions.
The attack has triggered protests and heightened tensions across the Imphal Valley, with residents demanding stricter security measures and an end to buffer zone infiltrations.
Combined forces of the Indian Army, Assam Rifles, and Manipur Police have launched large-scale search operations in fringe areas to locate the launch sites and prevent retaliatory attacks.
