Two Kuki women killed in Manipur
In Manipur, two Kuki women were killed in an armed assault, occurring less than 48 hours after earlier strikes that claimed four lives, including a married couple. The Kuki‑Zo Council announced it will delay burial of Kuki victims until further notice as a form of protest. The incident heightens concerns over escalating ethnic clashes in the northeastern state, and local officials have launched an investigation.
