On Monday (10 July), one police officer was killed and at least ten people were injured after fierce overnight confrontations in Manipur’s west Kangpokpi district.
There was a little respite between 3 and 6 a.m. (local time), but then the sound of indiscriminate firing from Phayeng and Singda villages could be heard.
The shelling was directed at villages and hills in Kangchup, Kangpokpi district.
