An Improvised Explosive Device exploded in the border town of Moreh in Manipur this morning, the police said.

No one was injured in the explosion at Shiv Shankar Mandir locality of Moreh, a senior police officer said.

A concrete wall in the vicinity of the blast site was partially damaged under its impact, he said.

During these operations, a significant cache of explosives and related materials was uncovered in Lesiang village, Churachandpur district.

Khumbongmayum Abhijit Singh, a suspected PREPAK operative, was apprehended during a late-night raid in the Chumnang area of Kakching district.

The ethnic tensions in Manipur between the Kuki-Zo tribes and the Meitei community have brought the state's governance under intense scrutiny.
