Manipur’s Divide
The ethnic tensions in Manipur between the Kuki-Zo tribes and the Meitei community have brought the state's governance under intense scrutiny.
Suspected militants launched a rocket attack in Manipur’s Bishnupur district early Friday, damaging a community hall and an adjacent structure in the Tronglaobi area, police reported.
Rockets were fired from elevated positions in the neighboring Churachandpur district, with a range exceeding 3 kilometers.

The previous night, Kumbi village, situated a few kilometers from Tronglaobi, saw heightened anxiety as multiple drones were spotted flying just 100 meters above the ground, according to eyewitness accounts.
The incident is the latest in a string of violent clashes, raising concerns over growing unrest in the region.
