In a fresh bout of violence, one person was killed and three others injured in a gunfight between armed groups in Manipur's Kangpokpi district. The deceased, identified as Lammang Kipgen, a Kuki 'village volunteer', was attacked by armed miscreants in Leimakhong. Accusations point towards Meiteis armed miscreants, prompting a 12-hour shutdown called by the Committee on Tribal Unity (COTU). The injured's identities remain undisclosed. This incident follows the killing of two CRPF personnel and injuring of two others in a separate attack in Bishnupur district. Ethnic clashes between Meiteis and Kuki-Zo tribals have plagued Manipur, claiming lives and displacing thousands.
