Two Assam Rifles personnel were injured in an encounter with the proscribed NSCN (K-YA), the only Naga insurgent group outside the ongoing peace process, in Nagaland’s Mon district in the wee hours of Monday.

The encounter was the third in less than a week involving the Yung Aung faction of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) in areas bordering Myanmar.
