BSF jawan, 4 police commandos injured in attack by militants in Manipur: reports

4 police commandos and a BSF jawan were injured in an attack by militants on Tuesday in Manipur's Moreh.

According to reports, the militants attacked the security personnel during a search operation.

The gunfight comes after 4 people were shot dead in Thoubal district on January 1 by unidentified assailants.

Moreh town near the India-Myanmar border has been witnessing gunfights between security forces and militants since December 30 last year.

Chief Minister N Biren Singh had recently expressed concern over the attacks on state forces and termed these as a "serious national security threat" and "an attempt to destabilise Manipur".

Singh had also said a delegation would soon leave for Delhi to meet representatives of the Centre and apprise them of the developing situation.
