Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh's convoy was ambushed by suspected Kuki militants in Kangpokpi district on June 10, injuring a Manipur Police officer and a civilian driver. Despite prior intelligence warnings, police failed to prevent the attack. A surfaced video captures multiple gunshots and panic during the incident. The attack occurred amid ongoing ethnic tensions in the region, exacerbated by recent violence following the discovery of a missing Meitei farmer’s body in Jiribam. Security forces have intensified search operations and evacuated affected citizens.
