Kangpokp: In Manipur, tension is high in Taphou area after reports of firing between armed groups and Liangmai Naga villagers.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir MediaService, the incident is linked to ongoing hostilities in Kangpokpi district involving suspected Kuki militants. Groups including the Liangmai Naga Council, Manipur (LNC-M) and the Working Committee of Tangkhul Naga Long have condemned recent attacks on Liangmai villages and called for immediate protection of civilians.<\/p>\n

On August 14, 2026, LNC-M reported that two Naga village volunteers were killed and two others injured in an attack at Langka Naga village in Kangpokpi.<\/p>\n

The council has since declared an emergency total shutdown across all Liangmai Naga-inhabited areas of Manipur, with only essential services exempted.<\/p>\n

Naga bodies have urged security forces to intervene immediately to prevent further escalation and loss of civilian lives. Police said an investigation is underway.<\/p>\n

Authorities have appealed for calm as the situation remains volatile in Kangpokpi and adjoining hill districts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
