Woman killed in Manipur’s Kamjong district ambush

A woman was killed during an ambush in Kamjong district of Manipur. The incident occurred in a region that has seen ongoing ethnic tensions and sporadic violence between different communities. The attack highlights the persistent security challenges in the area, which have raised concerns among local residents and authorities. No specific group has been identified as responsible for the ambush at this time. The death has added to the growing list of casualties in the conflict-ridden region.

A Kuki-Zo woman was killed and two others disappeared after an ambush in Manipur's Kamjong district on Thursday. The attack happened between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. on the road connecting Molnoi and Phaikoh, where four villagers were traveling on motorcycles to purchase essentials. Hatneikim Haokip, the deceased, was identified by local sources. Her husband, Jangkhongam Haokip, survived with bullet wounds and fled the scene. A second couple, D Paokhothang Haokip and Boishi Haokip, remained unaccounted for until late Thursday night. Hatneikim’s body was retrieved later that evening. Search efforts continued into the night to locate the missing pair. The incident follows a week of violence involving the Naga and Kuki-Zo communities in Manipur’s hill areas, which left nine dead in separate attacks. Deputy Chief Minister Nemcha Kipgen called the ambush a "grave criminal act," urging authorities to investigate swiftly and maintain peace. The Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM) expressed concern over the missing individuals, while the Kuki-Zo Council (KZC) accused Naga armed groups of carrying out the attack. It cited claims that 30 Kuki-Zo civilians had been killed by such groups.
