Assam Rifles patrol attacked in Manipur
On Friday morning, some soldiers from the Assam Rifles were attacked by unknown militants in Manipur, near the border with Myanmar.
The soldiers fought back carefully to keep civilians safe.
There might be some soldiers hurt, but it's not confirmed yet.
Meanwhile, police arrested six people, including five militants who were taking money from people and businesses in the area.
They also found some dangerous items like grenades.
The area is known for problems like smuggling and militant movements because the border is not fenced.
Assam Rifles patrol came under fire from unidentified militants in Manipur's Tengnoupal district near the Myanmar border.
Troops retaliated with caution to ensure civilian safety, and operations are ongoing with additional forces deployed.
Unconfirmed reports suggest at least four Assam Rifles jawans were injured in the attack.
Security forces arrested six people, including five militants from the Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP), for extortion in Imphal East and West districts.
Two high-power grenades, a mobile phone, and an Aadhaar card were seized from the residence of one of the arrested militants.
