Kamjong: Two people were killed after a Kuki village was set ablaze in Kamjong district of Manipur, local sources said.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the village identified as Kultuh was burned down, leaving the village Head Deacon and a Youth Club leader dead.<\/p>\n

Reports said that cadres of Kuki National Army-Burma (KNA-B) and Kuki National Front (KNF) were involved in the attack. The assault resulted in the destruction of houses and property within the village, forcing residents to flee for safety.<\/p>\n

KNA-B, Myanmar-based wing of the Kuki National Army, was founded in 1988 by P.S. Haokip under the Kuki National Organisation umbrella. After 2010, the group split into Indian and Burmese wings, with the Myanmar wing called KNA-B. KNA-B is active in Myanmar\u2019s Sagaing Region and Chin State, and also operates along the India-Myanmar border in Manipur, especially Kamjong district.<\/p>\n

KNFP is one of the factions of the Kuki National Front and it was formed on 18 May 1988 by Nehkholun Kipgen with the goal of a separate \u2018Kukiland\u2019 state for Kukis in Manipur. KNF founder Nehlun Kipgen was killed in a CRPF encounter. It operates mainly in Kuki-inhabited areas of Churachandpur, Kangpokpi\/Sadar Hills, Chandel, Tamenglong and Senapati districts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
