Fresh gunfight erupts in Manipur’s Jiribam district

A fresh gunfire erupted in Manipur’s border district of Jiribam on Saturday, days after peace talks by legislators from Meitei, Kuki-Zo-Hmar, and Naga communities to restore peace in the strife-torn state were initiated in Delhi. Police said the gunfight broke out around 5.30am after suspected Kuki militants launched an attack on the Borobekera police station. Borobekera is located about 30 km from Jiribam’s headquarters.
