The goods that were found include materials such as, thirty detonators, ten metres of fuse, one homemade mortar, nine homemade mortar barrels, twenty gelatin sticks, and thirty 12-inch single-bore barrel rifles. Two national rockets, two kilograms of lead shot, ninety-four fired cases, five radio sets, five chargers, four adapters, two extra batteries for radio sets, four bulletproof harnesses, and one helmet were also taken into custody.
Meanwhile, a high-level committee has been established by the Manipur government to look into the drone strike into the drone strike in Koutruk, Imphal West, that is believed to have been carried out by Kuki terrorists. One citizen was killed and several others, including three police officers, were injured in the attack, which took place on September 1.
An unprecedented assault by the militants involved the use of modern drones to deliver several RPGs, as per an order issued by the Director General of Police, Manipur. The newly established committee’s duties include conducting a thorough analysis of the attack drones, gathering data, and workable defences.
