Militants fire grenades at patrol party in Manipur, five wounded

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 2 January 2024
Four police commandos and a BSF trooper were wounded on Tuesday when militants suspected to be from a Myanmar-based outfit fired rocket-propelled grenades at a joint patrol in the border town of Moreh in Manipur's Tengnoupal district, making this the fourth consecutive day of violence in the state. Chief minister N Biren Singh accused "foreign mercenaries" of trying to stoke a conflict that was dying out, identifying the perpetrators as being possibly from the Kuki National Army, Burma (KNA-B). "Multiple sources have told us this," he said.
