Full Reportपूरी रिपोर्ट
Two civilians from Ningchou village in Kamjong district, Manipur, were recently killed near the Indo-Myanmar border, a region that has seen repeated attacks on villagers in recent weeks. The Indian Army’s fact-check unit has highlighted a report by the local outlet Rural Post as the factual account. The report says the two were killed by suspected Kuki armed militants. It does not involve any Army action. The Army has marked this report as fact to counter posts that tried to blame security forces for the deaths. The killings come shortly after four Tangkhul Naga civilians were shot dead at Pilong village in the same district on September 24, 2026, an attack local groups attributed to Myanmar-based armed groups. That incident triggered shutdowns and heightened tension in the area. Wrongly blaming security forces for such incidents can further inflame an already volatile situation, so people should rely on verified reports and official statements.
