Operation Khanpi
In the early hours of 04 Nov 25, during an intelligence-based operation, terrorists resorted to unprovoked firing on the Army column at Khanpi village, approximately 80 Km West of Churachandpur, Manipur. In the ensuing firefight between Security Forces and armed cadres of UKNA, a non-SOO insurgent group, 04 cadres of the terrorist group were neutralised.
The operation is still in progress, and the search for adjoining areas is in progress.
This operation follows recent atrocities by UKNA cadres, including the killing of a village chief, intimidation of locals, and attempts to disrupt peace and stability in the region. Successful neutralisation of these terrorists highlights the Indian Army and Assam Rifles’ commitment to protecting innocent civilians, mitigating all threats, and ensuring peace and security in Manipur.
