Four civilians, including mother-son duo, siblings killed in Manipur ambush

Imphal, Nov 13 (UNI) Four civilians, including two women, were killed after suspected Kuki militants opened fire on two vehicles along the Imphal–Ukhrul road near New Heaven in Manipur’s Ukhrul district on Friday.
Police said the incident reportedly took place in the New Heaven area under Litan Police Station, along National Highway 202 (NH-202), when armed attackers ambushed two four-wheelers.
The deceased have been identified as Kapangkhui Raihing and his mother, Phaoleila Raihing, residents of Shangshak village, and Ngalung Taigicus and his sister, Tanmila Keishing, residents of Tashar village. Their bodies were taken to Ukhrul hospital for post mortem.
According to reports, the mother and son were travelling in a car while the other two victims were in a separate vehicle. All four reportedly died at the scene. Bullet marks were subsequently noticed on the windshields of the vehicles.
The perpetrators were not yet identified. There have reportedly been frequent attacks by Kuki militants on this route connecting Ukhrul and Kamjong districts to the state headquarters Imphal.
The killings have once again raised serious concerns over the safety of civilians travelling along the Imphal–Ukhrul highway, particularly amid continuing tensions and armed confrontations in the region.
On Thursday, a 40-year-old Kuki woman, identified as Kimneineng Chongloi, was killed in a shooting near Taphou Kuki village along the Kangpokpi–Senapati district border. Two other men from the village sustained bullet injuries. A Naga farmer was also injured in another attack by suspected Kuki militants.
