“During the operation, the troops came under fire from suspected cadres. They quickly reacted, redeployed, and retaliated in a calibrated and measured manner. In the ensuing firefight, 10 cadres were neutralised, and a sizeable quantity of arms and ammunition was recovered.”

The ethnic violence in Manipur, ongoing since May 2023, has claimed over 260 lives and displaced more than 60,000 people. The conflict is primarily between the Meitei community from the Imphal Valley and the Kuki-Zo tribes from the hill areas. Tensions escalated after a court order recommended granting Scheduled Tribe status to the Meiteis, sparking protests and violent clashes.
