Unidentified men fired at area domination parties of the Army and Assam Rifles in Manipur’s Senapati and Churachandpur districts on Saturday, injuring two AR personnel. This is the second such attack since Thursday, when one Assam Rifles jawan was wounded in Imphal East district.

Army’s Dimapur-based 3rd Corps said the patrol parties returned the fire when attacked in the forest areas of Lailampat village and Vill Sipijang. The attackers at Vill Sipijang fled upon being retaliated, leaving two rifles and ammunition on the spot.
