An attempt was made to ambush an Assam Rifles patrol with an improvised explosive device (IED) in the Tengnoupal district of Manipur on November 16. No injuries or deaths were reported.
A defence source said the IED was remotely detonated by cadres of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), a Meitei insurgent outfit, that is among eight extremist organisations recently banned by the Union Home Ministry.
