Manipur Sees Renewed Violence with Six Fatalities in Jiribam

Ethnic tensions between Meitei and Kuki communities escalate, leading to deadly clashes and increased security measures.

Six people, including a civilian, were killed in Jiribam amid fresh violence between Meitei and Kuki groups.
The violence follows a rocket attack and the use of weaponized drones by suspected Kuki militants.
Security forces have deployed anti-drone systems and conducted combing operations in affected areas.
A recent peace agreement between Meitei and Hmar leaders failed to prevent the latest outbreak of violence.
Over 225 people have died and 60,000 have been displaced due to ongoing ethnic strife since last year.
