At least one person has been killed and three others injured in fresh gunfights that occurred in the early hours of Sunday along the border between the Kangpokpi and Imphal West districts in Manipur, where the ethnic conflict between the valley-based Meitei and the hills-based Kuki-Zo communities continues.
This comes within 24 hours of an attack on a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camp in Narainsena of Bishnupur district by unidentified militants, who had killed two CRPF personnel and injured two others. Manipur Security Adviser Kuldiep Singh declared that no stone would be left unturned to punish those responsible.
The latest clash began around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, with gunfire being reported from Koutruk village in Imphal West district, police sources told The Hindu.
