## The story

Four people were killed and a six‑year‑old boy was wounded in two separate armed attacks in Tamenglong district, Manipur, on Sunday. The first shooting took place at about 5.30 a.m. in Tollen village, where 46‑year‑old Lhingzangai Singsit was shot dead and her husband Seineh Singsit died from bullet injuries. The second attack occurred around 3 p.m. in Longpi village, killing a man and a woman. Police are investigating the incidents and have not received any claims of responsibility from armed groups. Chief Minister Y Khemchand Singh condemned the violence, calling it “cowardly” and expressing deep anguish. The Kaimai village authority denounced the attacks as a deliberate attempt to create disharmony between communities. The Western Village Volunteer group, a Kuki organization, identified the Longpi victims as Jilie Singson and Reol Gangte and alleged that cadres from NSCN‑IM and ZUF‑K were involved. The attacks coincided with the “Black Day” observed by Kukis to remember victims of the 1990s Kuki–Naga conflict.
