“A soldier from the Assam Rifles was injured while diffusing an improvised bomb in Saitan village in Manipur’s Bishnupur district Friday morning (May 12), about 60 km south of Imphal,” officials said.
A defence spokesperson said the crude bomb was locally fabricated and the soldier who was trying to diffuse it did not suffer major injuries.
A day before, a policeman was killed and four others injured when suspected militants opened fire at them near Tera Khongfangbi also in Bishnupur district.
