Kailenjang,a Kuki village along the Senapati-Kangpokpi border was torched by NSCN-IM terrorists today.
Ironically,itโs just 5kms away from where UNC leaders had a state delegation led by Dy CM Dikho & HM @KonthoujamG.
This attack underscores that peace in Manipur remains elusive.
Chassad, Manipur: Tangkhul refugee terrorists have blown up the only lifeline connecting Kuki town Chassad with other Kuki villages like Maokot, Lanchah, Gampal, Haijang & more. Tangkhul illegal immigrant Chatric village has asked even the govt. to obtain permission for movement.
๐Manipur: Two Kuki Villages, Teikhang & Lenglong under Longpi area, Noney district ( Tamenglong) is currently under attack & burnt by suspected cadres of NSCN(M) & ZUF(K) at 2:18 pm today. The arson continues unabated. Armed forces are absent where required.

As Naga groups continue to block the supply of essentials to Kuki-Zo areas in Manipurโs Kangpokpi, the Kuki-Zo Council (KZC), an apex body of the tribes, met Director of Intelligence Bureau (IB) Mahesh Dixit and senior MHA officials seeking the Centreโs intervention to the crisis and expedition of political solution.

Violence once again struck the remote Lonpi region this afternoon. At approximately 2:00 PM on 15 July 2026, Teikhang and Lenglong villages were attacked and set on fire in a coordinated operation attributed to Tangkhul-led factions of NSCN (Muivah) and ZUF-K.
The assault caused widespread destruction, reducing large parts of both villages to ashes. These incidents bring the total number of Kuki villages burnt since February 2026 to 19.
Fearing repeated threats and incursions by Manipuri Naga militants, residents had evacuated both villages months ago. Their isolation in the Lonpi area made them especially vulnerable, leaving the abandoned settlements exposed to todayโs attack.

Manipur: Double standards of the armed forces stand exposed. When Kacha Naga women, including Liangmais, block combing ops, forces simply refrain from pursuing NSCN(Muivah) and Kamjong faction terrorists. Had this happened in Kuki areas, the response would have been far harsher.
Manipur:2Jawans of @official_dgar were martyred by NSCN(Muivah) terrorists at Ukhrul yesterday. However, the sad part is how the third class journalists in India donโt even dare to call them out or question them & just reported as โunidentified militantsโ not even suspected NSCN.

Ukhrul, July 6: The Kuki CSO Working Committee (WCKCSOs), Ukhrul, has strongly condemned the deadly ambush on an Assam Rifles convoy at Nongshangkong on July 6, which claimed the lives of Warrant Officer Balwan Singh and Havildar C.M. Singh. The committee described the attack as a "heinous act" and expressed its deepest condolences to the bereaved families while paying tribute to the security personnel who lost their lives in the line of duty.
In a press statement titled "The Politics of Blame," the committee rejected allegations circulating on social media that sought to hold the Kuki-Zo community responsible for the ambush. It argued that Nongshangkong is predominantly inhabited by Tangkhuls and that blaming the Kuki-Zo community without evidence lacks credibility.
The committee further alleged that NSCN (IM) continues to pose a security threat in the region, claiming that Kuki-Zo villages and civilians have repeatedly been targeted while being wrongly portrayed as perpetrators of violence.
Highlighting events that allegedly took place on July 6, the committee claimed that an unannounced bandh disrupted movement in Yaingangpokpi, followed by reported firing towards Kuki-Zo farmers in the Chepu Yaolen area. It also alleged that firing later occurred near Ringui village, forcing Kuki-Zo cultivators to flee. According to the statement, these incidents were documented by government agencies deployed in the area.
The organisation also criticized what it described as selective reporting of the Nongshangkong ambush, alleging that incidents in Kuki-Zo areas are often prematurely attributed to "Kuki militants" without sufficient evidence.
Calling for a fair and impartial investigation, the committee urged the Government of India to conduct search operations in areas suspected of being used as launch pads for militant attacks and to review the existing ceasefire framework with NSCN (IM) to prevent its misuse.
The Kuki CSO Working Committee concluded by urging both the Manipur Government and the Government of India to take transparent and decisive action to identify those responsible for the attack and restore public confidence.

BREAKING ๐จ
Today in Ukhrul, Tangkhul-led NSCN-IM militants ambushed personnel of the 40 Assam Rifles during a routine patrol. The attack involved an improvised explosive device (IED) and other explosives.
Two Indian Army personnel were killed in the attack.
May their souls rest in peace. May their families find strength and comfort in this time of grief.
Requiescant in pace. Lux aeterna luceat eis.

Exactly 1 month after the NSCN (Muivah) terrorists savagely butchered a 7 month-pregnant mother and her unborn baby, their latest targets this time was a helpless 9 year-old girl & a 56-year-old mother (again). Only by sheer miracle did the innocent victims survive but this latest act of Terrorism has exposed the bottomless cruelty and subhuman tactics of the NSCN (Muivah) Terrorists that preys exclusively on the defenseless.
ManipurTangkhul terrorists NSCN (Muivah) ambushed & killed two personnel of 40 @official_dgar in Ukhrul district today. However, for presstitude @IndiaTodayNE, itโs still unidentified armed men. I hope @HMOIndia wakes up this time. These terrorists should be wiped out completely
Two patriots made the supreme sacrifice in an ambush laid by Tangkhul-led militants. While NSCN-IM (Hebron) has denied any involvement and instead blamed its own faction, NSCN-Eastern Flank, for the cowardly attack. The fact remains that it was secessionist Kacha Naga militancy that claimed the lives of two sentinels of Northeast India, 40th Assam Rifles personnel Warrant Officer #Balwant_Singh and Havildar #Chandra_Mahan_Singh, while they were serving in the line of duty.
It is important to note that attacks targeting CAPF personnel or the @adgpi in Manipur have been attributed only to Meitei Valley-Based Insurgent Groups (#VBIGs) and Tangkhul-led NSCN-IM or its proxy groups and factions till date. @PMOIndia and @HMOIndia must take decisive action against these terrorist entities which are also actively involved in the attacks of innocent Kuki Villagers in recent times, to eliminate this threat for the nation and to restore lasting peace, security and development in the region.
Every proud Indian๐ฎ๐ณ including the Kuki-Zo people deeply mourns the untimely sacrifice of these two brave jawans. May their souls rest in eternal peace.

Truth does not require your admission to exist.
The depth of your hostility toward the Indian Army is an established fact, the world has long witnessed the foundational hatred you Kacha Nagas and Meiteis harbor toward the Indian Army, so itโs not even a subject for debate. You can perform whatever public theater of denial you like, but obfuscation cannot alter reality. The world already knows exactly who is responsible; your denials are no longer a defense, just an admission of cowardice.
