In the early hours of November 4, 2025, during an intelligence-based operation, terrorists resorted to unprovoked firing on the Army column at Khanpi village, approximately 80 km west of Churachandpur, Manipur. In the ensuing firefight between Security Forces and armed cadres of the UKNA, a non-SoO insurgent group, four cadres of the terrorist group were neutralised.
The Assam Rifles stated that the operation follows recent atrocities by UKNA cadres, including the killing of a village chief, intimidation of locals, and attempts to disrupt peace and stability in the region. The successful neutralisation of these terrorists highlights the Indian Army and Assam Rifles’ commitment to protecting innocent civilians, mitigating all threats, and ensuring peace and security in Manipur.
