At least five people were killed and several others injured in separate incidents last week in Kamjong district in Manipur.
Kamjong Police, however, dismissed reports circulating on social media that the Kamjong Police Station was burnt.
Three Kuki individuals and one Tangkhul civilian were killed in separate incidents during the violence. The deceased woman has been identified as Domkhonei Touthang, wife of Lallenmung Touthang of Chassad. The identities of two other suspected Kuki armed individuals have yet to be officially confirmed, although sources indicated that one of them was from Chassad village.

The two victims have been identified as Leishisan Hungyo and his nephew, Ngachanso Ningshen, both from Ningchou village in Kamjong district. Leishisan is survived by his wife and four children, while Ngachanso leaves behind his wife and two young children.
According to villagers, the two were killed in an alleged ambush attack on the village by suspected Kuki militants at around 8.30 am on Saturday. The circumstances surrounding the incident have not been independently verified.
The mortal remains of the deceased were reportedly taken to Kamjong District Hospital for post-mortem examination. Sources said the Tangkhul Naga Long (TNL) is expected to organise a funeral programme on Sunday before the bodies are taken to their native village for the final rites.
Ningchou is a Tangkhul Naga village in Kamjong district, located around 10 km from the Indo-Myanmar border.
It shares a border with Phaikoh, a Kuki village. The surrounding area has settlements belonging to both Naga and Kuki communities, making it vulnerable amid the ongoing communal tensions
The headless body of Ajinbou Ringkangmai, one of the victims of the killings at Makui Asang and Tapon Naga villages, arrived at the mortuary of the Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences (JNIMS) in Imphal around midnight on Sunday.
On October 10, 2026, an attack at Makui Asang (also known as Makui Ashang Liangmai Naga) village in the Kangpokpi district of Manipur resulted in the deaths of Liangmai Naga villagers amid escalating regional violence.
The Joint Tribes Council (JTC-Manipur) has refused to proceed with the post-mortem examination until his missing head is recovered and handed over to his family for a dignified burial.
